Malva
I spotted this beautiful pink flower in Aquatic Park, Berkeley, CA. It looks like a hybrid between a plumeria and hibiscus blossom. The seed pods look similar to morning glory seed pods. Any help with an ID would be great.

Great!
Malva it is--and you are again correct Dan!
Looking forward to it!
@KarenP: I went to the UC Berkley botanical gardens today--it was amazing. I have lots to upload!

@KarenP: can't wait to see your photo.
Thanks for the suggestion Dan.
I'll have to put the UC Berkley gardens on my list for my next visit. Thanks for posting this. I photographed a similar flower (haven't posted yet) in the San Diego Botanic Gardens, Encintias, CA.
I'm not sure but this could be a species of Malva.
@Emma: I'm going to the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens today! :)
