Have I got a beauty Or a beast.

Only kidding. This little beauty was from a cutting shared from a friend. Unfortunately, hers died but I’ll soon be able to give her one back.

But - what is it please? Val

It looks like Eccremocarpus flower, but the foliage doesn't match.

Thanks Yorkshirerose, no the leaves aren’t the same nor is the flower, but it’s a good try.

It reminds me a little of phygelius.

Is it a Glory vine Chilien firework.

HI, the stems are like the framework of a shrub and the leaves are leathery and evergreen, I looked on the Chilean glory vine and it says ferny leaves twinning. But it’s close.Val

It looks like a red Cestrum.
One such as Cestrum fasciculatum var Newellii.
Never knew it would survive in UK...only ever seen it in hotter countries.

Wow wow Silver surfer, you have got it, many thanks. This is in Devon near the sea. Just hope it keeps going through the winters. Now I know what it is, I can look after it. Val
