A reader has, once again, managed to stump me on a plant ID question. This particular plant:
- was originally purchased via an ad in Town and Country
- has been around for several years
- blooms "all the time."
My only guess is that maybe the plant is in the Malvaceae -- that pistil (?) sticking out of the flower looks a lot like certain Abutilon and Hibiscus varieties I've seen. Though the leaves completely don't match.
So how about it? Even if you don't know a precise species or variety, confirming a family or genus would still be helpful in tracking it down.

Reminds me of some Pavonia spp I have seen, though that was a long time ago and it doesn't look quite the same.
Pavonia multiflora looks very similar. Photos at Top Tropicals.
It looks really nice. Great that it blooms so much.
The leaf arrangement reminds me of Brownlowia tersa. The flowers baffle me, though.
I was going to suggest Pavonia of some sort but I appear to be beaten!
My money is on Pavonia multiflora.
All:
Both I and the original e-mailer would like to thank everyone for their suggestions; it does appear to be Pavonia multiflora.
I purchase this plant at the 2011 flower show it is a pavonia multiflora , Brazilian Candles
pavonia multiflora, Brazilian Candles
