Cool…. seems there are a lot of commonalities between Florida plants and wildlife and that of South Carolina…. and, by extension, Texas!🤗

Pretty sure it’s a Scarlet Hibiscus (Scarlet Rosemallow). Gorgeous flower!
The Turk’s Cap Mallow is what we called Sleeping Hibiscus when we lived in south Florida and is a non-native plant used extensively in landscaping. Different leaf than your picture.

I don’t know what the flower in your photograph is, but it doesn’t look to me like Malvaviscus arboreus, which we have some of in our front yard.

Likewise to you. The morning’s coming up clear here, and I’ll shortly be off to photograph a kind of tiny native flower that I rarely come across.
