This flower is on a small tree, not really a bush. It seems to fit in the wax or porcelain family but I can't find it. Most of those have 5 petals and this has six. I looks through the pictures in DG but I am wondering if it might be one that is not pictured. Can anyone help? I would sure appreciate it.

It looks like the blooms on my pineapple guava bush.

Nice photo of the flower! Can you show the rest of the plant?

Acca sellowiana, Pineapple Guava, has 4 petaled flowers that are pink to red on the face and white outside.
