Name That Plant!

What is this plant/flower?

9 years ago

It was growing in our yard when we purchased a foreclosed home in Feb. 2012. It never lost leaves through the winter of 2012 but did lose them from the winter of 2013/14's ice storm. It was leggy & had hard/long branches and we cut it back this Spring. It is now 'all over the place' and healthy with single pink flowers.

This mystery plant/flower is not hibiscus. It just popped into bloom yesterday with beautiful small pink blossoms.

Please help me identify it.

I believe saltcedar correctly ID'd as Pavonia, probably P. lasiopetala.

Here is a link that might be useful: Pavonia lasiopetala

Pavonia is in the Malvaceae family same as Hibiscus so the first response was at least in the right area ....
