Answer: Hi Dave, I guess that you want a name for this plant?  I am not sure of its name. It looks a bit like Hibiscus Mrs Andreasen, which has two different flower colours on the one plant, except that it usually has pink + buff yellow flowers. Yours appear to be pink + white. The foliage seems right for Mrs Andreasen which itself is a sport of Mrs George Davis.  Don
