Looks like a Malvaviscus to me. Maybe M. penduliflorus?

Yes I agree with Tugbrethil.

Botanic name ... Malvaviscus penduliflorus or Malvaviscus arboreus var. penduliflorus. It has the common names of 'Turk's Cap' or 'Sleeping Hibiscus' ... or here in Oz we refer to it as 'Lipstick Hibiscus'. I have this growing in my own garden downunder.
