This apparently is a very common plant in california yet i have no clue what it is. i took this picture in front of a store and i have no idea what it is. upon research, a similar looking flower was classified as a "Abelmoschus moschatus" Or "Silk Flower"
as you can see, the flowers are white and a dark pink color, and going through the color changing process. Also the leaves are very thick and sturdy.
