Reminds me of a Chinese Lantern plant...
Would you happen to have the botanical name ?

Thanks much,

Bleeding hearts are cultivars of dicentra formosa.

Once again, the confusion caused by common names.....

This plant is most definitely NOT a Dicentra of any species,
although Dicentra, several species of which (spectabilis, formosa,
eximia) are all referred to as "Bleeding Heart."

The plant in the picture is none of those. Dicentra is a herbaceous
perennial plant, whereas the plant pictured (and pictured very beautifully
I might add) is obviously a woody plant (just look at the stem) which at
first I thought might be a species of Clerodendrum, which is also sometimes
given the common name "Bleeding Heart" or "Bleeding Heart Glory Bower."

That ID is also incorrect though, since this plant has a large cluster of
stamens
and any species of Clerodendrum I'm familiar with do not. The leaves are
also
wrong for the Clerodendrum I know.

If I figure it out I'll let the group know....or maybe someone else can
provide a
correct ID and botanical name.

Regards,
Rick

Apologies... I was just trying to help, and evidently lack sufficient
experience at this. :-)

Cheers!

When I posted it I knew it wasn't a real Bleeding Heart but it was
superficially similar enough that I went with that moniker 'cuz I had no
idea what its real name was. But I knew somebody in this NG would
eventually put a proper name on it.

Well, Pat, whatever you call the flowers in your photos, they're all
beautiful and beautifully photographed!

After a bit of investigation and searching, I've finally figured out that
your photo is of Abutilon megapotamicum.

Check out all the other photos on Google...
