Could what you are calling Lace flowers possibly be a gesneriad called Alsobia Cygnet?........they grow in a hanging basket and look exactly like yours.
Hey Gessie! Mine is an Alsobia dianthiflora. I believe I just read that the dianthiflora is the one that is pure white. I think the 'Cygnet' has the red dots on them. Mine is a very small cutting I just got a few months ago. I'm hoping it will go gangbuster on me this summer so I can propagate from cuttings. It is trailing.
It is in full sun though, I wonder if I need to move it out of full sun. I hope I can keep it alive this winter.
I wouldn't put it in full sun. I kept mine outside in a basket all summer and fall and then brought her in for the winter. She will grow like gangbusters and you will have all the cuttings you need.
Good luck! I think they are so pretty in bloom.
LiliMerci Your mystery plant is an Autograph Tree, I saw it in Hawaii and fell in love.

Hi, Jeri........I am impressed you know that awesome tree.
That's Ardesia's mystery tree. Very cool!
Thanks Jeri.
Wish I had known what that was a few weeks ago; I could have left my mark in Hawaii. LOL
Hi there Gail!!! How have you been? I think of you when I look at the plant you traded me!!!! I've manged to keep it alive too!!!!
Ardesia you are quiet welcome!!!! Jim & I went to Hawaii in 2007 and I fell in love with that tree. I saw it at a nursery on Mauri and it was planted in the ground. The fruit or flower when dry looks just like a wooden flower. I had to find out what it was!!! I even managed to find one after I got home to purchase but managed to kill it promptly!!!!!
I'm in Santa Fe right now and seeing some very interesting plants here. I'm sure I'll be on another search when we make it home from here.
That one looks very drought tolerant. LOL
That was exactly what I was thinking!!!! It is a wind sculphure by Lyman Whitaker. It is one of about 150 different ones that he has done.
