They are a type of Abutilon. I got this description from online
Description: A wonderful selection of pastel colours for garden containers, in partial shade or as an indoor flowering house plant. Compact, dwarf plants with large, showy 3in. bell shaped flowers and multi-lobed leaves resembling a maple tree, blooming continuously even in high temperatures

They have the wide flared flower. Both of the above are bellas. I believe last year was the first year for them. Or maybe it was 2003.

Here is one that looks like Bella but it is too tall to be one. It is a Mobile Pink.
