   Frank,

   I believe those are Fuchsia blooms. I’m not sure which cultivar but I’m sure it is a Fuchsia hybrid.

   The blooms should open into a fuller flower.

   I have one in my garden. It’s Crinodendron hookerianum (Chinese lantern tree)

   M Wilson,

   Thank you so much for your identification. I stand corrected. Crinodendron hookerianum is a new plant to me but I looked it up and it does appear to be what Frank’s photo is. In fact I went to the Royal Horticultural Society and found that it was their 2005 May plant of the month. I also found out that is is sometimes called Chile Lantern Tree.

   Thanks for the clarification.
