JKP: this analysis requires the combination of typical elements of two plants, right? Leaves of Malva, five red knobs of Hibiscus?
It's quite possible that they did this, and I think you are right that this explains the structure in the flower. Note though, that (as far as I can tell), these five knobs in hibiscus are of equal size and arranged in a circle, while in the VM one is in the middle, which is a lot thicker. They've also made sure to put a black dot in each of the knobs.
