Have a look at Phygelius?on Google images It's not Phygelius. I've got photographs of both species, and they don' match. (Different shape of leaves, different number of calyx lobes, etc.) If I'm interpreting the photograph correctly it's choripetalous (unfused petals), with the petals inserted on an hypanthium, rather than directly on the floral axis. 5 stamens, 1 style. I'm baffled as to what it actually is. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Thank you for all the replies of the above flower. I am pretty sure it
is a type of Abelia. The one in my book was white but mine was very pink hence i missed it. thank you. |

John, it is most definitely not an Abelia and most definitely is a hybrid Escallonia. Abelias are related to the honeysuckles and share the familial trait of having tubular or funnel-shaped flowers with inequal length petals united at their bases and for part of their length at least. In Abelia, the arrangement is such that there are two slightly shorter upper and three slightly longer lower petals, united into a tube for approximately 3/4 of their length with only the free tips flaring. In Escallonia there is one upper petal, two upper laterals and two lower laterals. They are not united and open more or less flat. There is no true similarity in the foliage either apart from both having glossy leaves, but the flowers alone are enough to ensure identity. Your picture is that of an Escallonia. |
