The pink flower is like a small Hibiscus, in fact it is in the same 'Malvaceae' family.
Caesar's Weed (Urena lobata) - Local Name: Kelulut, Pepulut
That small brown fruit has a little spike that will stick to your cloth if you pass through this plant. So that's why Malay named it '
Pepulut', meaning sticky like a glutinous rice.

Such a fascinating name for this delicate little flower and two very beautiful photographs. Thanks for sharing them with Today's Flowers.

What an interesting name, never heard of it before but I think I've seen the flower. So now I know it's name!
Lovely little wildflower, nice macros.
The colors in your photos are so beautiful.
Hate this weed so much when I was a kid. The spiky fruits will stick to my football stockings during my daily evening games. It will take quite a while to remove hundreds of those minute size pepuluts fruits the next day. Gotto remove those by hand, no man made machine was made until today for this job. LOL.
