Mystery flowering plant...

I know this is a very common house or warm weather plant but it has flowered for the first time in 10 years. The plant is 10ft high now from when I planted it outside. It has other crazy flowing stems from the bottom but this is the biggest and only stalk to bloom. I think it is in the Dracaena marginata family but the flowers are so different looking from what I can find on the internet. Hoping someone can also share their knowledge and maybe other photos of what this plant is.

Mysterious Flowering plant
Comments (5)You guys are awesome - The common name for the Malvaviscus is Sleeping Hibiscus! I just looked up both of those and looks like that's what it is! Also known as Turk's Cap, as noted on the San Francisco Botanical Garden website. Mystery solved - thanks for your help! :) This post was edited by cchrishna on Sun, Apr 27, 14 at 14:23...See MoreWhat's The Name Of This Beautiful, Exotic-Looking Flower/Plant?
Comments (4)Tedhort, as usual, has done it again: Ricinus, the 'Caster Oil' plant, considered a weed in this part of the world. While the fruit cap is poisonous (and attractive to children) it is useful commercially as an ingrediant - at least it use to be - medicinally, as well as in the timber trade for varnishes....See MoreWhat is this mysterious plant?
