Anyone know what this plant is?

I moved into my house a little over a year ago, and this plant was growing when I bought the place. The previous owner had inherited it from the people she bought it from and didn't know what it was either.

The flowers are huge... some more than 8 inches in diameter. See picture:

    Sure looks like Hibiscus to me. Hibiscus flowers can be huge. It is not a weed or BRUGMANSIA.

    PS: Every plant is a weed because every plant gorws as a weed somewhere in the world.

    It's Hibiscus moscheutos (swamp rose mallow, rose mallow). It could be from the "Disco Bell" series.

    It's a BRUGMANSIA.
