I’d guess this was an exotic hibiscus, but the leaves aren’t right. Anyone know what it is?

I don’t know what this lady is doing blooming way down here on the ground, but she seems to be doing okay, in spite of traffic on the brick pathway.
When I went down to turn off the water intake for the pool, I found this abandoned snail shell. When I got in the steaming water, these two little sun roses had fallen off the succulent plant at the edge of the pool, or more likely been brushed off by the dogs.
To give you some idea of scale:
Red Eye
I’m suffering from swollen eyes
that make me appear in the guise
of one who’s had a recent loss
or been upbraided by her boss.
But, much as I appreciate
the words of sympathy you state,
my red eyes, I must confess
are occasioned by much less.
I haven’t cut myself or fallen.
I’m simply suffering from pollen!

Unassuming flower, tall invasive plant.
Every time I see you, how I rave and rant.
Little did I know when I planted two or three
that within the year, you’d be the bane of me.
You don’t respond to pulling. Pop right up again
anywhere you want to, not just where you’ve been.
Filling all my borders, invading every bed.
How I wish I’d planted another plant instead.
Sedum is more ground-hugging. Spider plant is nice.
Dusty Miller never turns into a vice.
The one who made a gift of you knew just what to do.
She put up a “For Sale” sign and moved away from you!
