Thanks for your input anyway Dave, so it seems like it is a hybrid,
not a species.
The Den. tetragonum pics I have looked at are different. the petals & sepals
are way skinnier & more spikey no?



Wendy, that's right. And I've never seen a tetragonum - real or photo - with
that sort of pink and pale apricot colouration over most of the floral parts. (I
never do remember the collective technical name for them all.)
