Yellow Flower - August 17th

A nameless yellow flower.
There is a whole bed of these growing close to the swimming pool on the compound I live on.
The gardeners have obviously cultivated them, they are not wild, but I have no idea what they are.
Does anybody know?

Thank you to larena who managed to find out that this is, in fact, an okra flower, Abelmoschus esculentus (Hibiscus esculentus).

I have no idea what flower it is but I am sure others on Pbase will know. Nonetheless it very beautiful and you have captured excellent detail. Love the pale yellow colour too.
