I sure hope somebody here is a gardener. If anyone knows what this plant is I'd be obliged.

It looks a bit like Honeysuckle just before it opens out?

the leaves don't resemble honeysuckle, though ...

I googled images with "honeysuckle" and the flowers look similar to your pic, but the leaves don't look like what I remember ??

This is the japanese honeysuckle: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...w=1150&bih=583

but, as I look through all the pics, it looks like there are a LOT different kinds of them, and in some states they are considered "unwanted" .

Maybe this is it? http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...0&tx=112&ty=91

It looks similar to a cigar plant. http://www.floridata.com/ref/c/cuph_ign.cfm

If it's any kind of honeysuckle, you should be able to tell by the fragrance -- it's the most wonderful scent in the world! But I haven't seen honeysuckle that color before.

Justicia spicigera. I've always known it by the name Firecracker Plant, but another name is Mexican Honeysuckle.
