Don't know if you can help, but I saw a shrub in the grounds of Brodick
this weekend. I was pushed for time and so couldn't ask and didn't have
my camera, but I will give as good a description as I can.
It was in a shrubbery with various scented rhododendrons. Leaves like a
small azalea/rhodi leaf. Flowers single headed, bright darkish red
looking like a large fuschia bud. I couldn't see any flowers open, they
all had this fat bud like appearance. Sorry it's not much to go on, but
it was a very unusual plant and I would be grateful if you recognise the
one I am referring to

Sounds like Crinodenrum
