Gorgeous bush: please identify!!

Please, please, please, please, somebody tell me what this gorgeous bush is! It appears to have pink, rounded lantern like flowers and red berries afterwards. I picked off a few dried things I assumed might have seeds in.
The bees were loving it, someone please tell me what it is so I can find one and get one! :D

looks like a pink turk’s cap hibiscus.

those seed pods should have seed in them. I’ve found it pretty easy to germinate seed from its cousin abutilon, aka flowering maple.

Ah ha! I was trying to reconcile similarities to Abutilon, but didn’t speak up because it looked a bit different. :D
