Can anyone help

by telling me what this is? I saw it yesterday at Nymans Gardens in Handcross. In fact I saw lots of wonderful plants never seen before but this had no name.
The petals are very thick and fleshy as if they are made from polystyrene, and the plants stood up to 5 feet tall

It looks a bit like a type of Abutilon, maybe?

I thought Abutilon too when I saw it.
The Arbrus seed pod reminds me of Maori art
