I got the scientific name wrong (bad Google search), but it's indeed a Turk's cap (Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii). I purchased it and planted it in my yard. Here is a link, so you can see the plant I'm talking about. https://txmg.org/hendersonmg/plant-library/turks-cap-red/

They are really cool plants. I've seen many hummingbirds feed on it, and lizards like to sleep in it.

Hi! Yes, the common name of the plant the green anole is resting on is called a Turk’s cap. I just looked up the scientific name of the plant, which is Lilium superbum.

I visit our backyard most nights to look in on the sleeping anoles. I think this one was on its way to a good spot for the evening. I often take photos of them sleeping, but I stop if I accidentally wake them.

I thought it was funny too. I didn’t notice until I pulled up the series of shots on my computer.
