Pink flowers - tall, tiny leaves

Any help identifying this plant? This photo was given to me by a friend, so I did not see the plant in person. They said it was several feet tall and has a wispy-like appearance. Photo was taken in Walnut Creek, California.

Comments (1)It's a type of Mussaenda, a tropical shrub from Asia. They grow exceedingly well in South Florida. Here is a link that might be useful: Mussaenda, aka Bangkok Rose...See MoreProstrate Plants with Tiny Pink Flowers
Comments (4)I believe it's Diodia virginiana, Virginia buttonweed. If it is a Diodia, then your tiny pink flower would have to be ... maybe the base of a seed capsule whose top has fallen off? And your unopened flower buds would be less mature seed capsules. (It's trying to take over my front lawn, but I haven't studied its anatomy in detail.) In any case, it seems unlikely there would be unopened buds and nearly-mature seed capsules cheek-by-jowl on the same part of the stem. You could go back and dissect those parts of the plant, to see what's inside. Nice photos here: http://www.cas.vanderbilt.edu/bioimages/species/divi3.htm Also here, but unfortunately not of the seed capsule: www.florabymax.net/ FLORAbyMAX/ Family-pdfs/ FLORA-P-Z/ Rubiaceae%20(Madder%20Family).pdf...See MoreShort plant Tall Flower Spike with Tiny Berries
