Hollyhock Identification

| I've seen a beautiful Hollyhock in a garden having lovely flowers like a large Hibiscus. The leaves, however, are not the normal Hollyhock-type, but sort of 3-lobed.
Check out this link showing two photos joined together:

The Hollyhock in question has the colouring of the lower picture, but the leaves are like the top photo.
Anyone know what type this is? |

| Its hard to say as there are a number of Alcea (Hollyhock) types. We grow just one type where I work and the leaf is very veriable. It COULD be a form of Fig leaf hollyhock Alcea Ficifolia which we tend to like ourselves as it seems less prone to hollyhock rust however if this is a true name for the type it is unclear- some consider such a name to be used to describe a number of forms. |

| Thanks for the input. I'll have to get a photo of it and, more importantly, some seeds. The plant is situated in a front garden, in a house with 3 flats. |
