"I can see how they made the mistake."
Yep, those photos are very close. I'm relieved my Hibiscus is the more commonly seen type. I don't need a bunch of cops screeching to a halt every time they pass my front porch.

Do you really think they're very close? A quick perusal of those two pictures reveals that other than a general similarity in the outline and arrangement of the leaves, there are many differences. The MJ plant has green stalks and shoots - the hibiscus has reddish stalks and shoots. The MJ plant's leaves have a characteristic ribbing on them that the hibiscus plant's leaves lack. And the MJ plant is much bushier, for lack of a better word.
