Field Notes

Description:

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.

Habitat:

Aquatic Park, Berkeley, CA.

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.
