Oh thank your for the name Bernieh :)
It is known as "Christ tear drop here".
this plant almost died last year, but is coming back very strong now, and another little just growing aside

Oh I love your common name over there - I think ours was taken from the icon of the Sacred Heart of Jesus ... it's looking very healthy and happy now. Hope it keeps going strong for you.

Alyena:

I really like Clerodendrum thomsoniae also! I had
one for many years. It grows well as a small shrub...
even though it's usually sold as a vine.

It's commonly sold as bleeding heart vine here.

Aleyna:

They're very tough plants. They just don't tolerate
cold very well.

This is a really lovely flower, Aleyna, I've never seen this plant before. I'm glad you managed to save it & I hope you will many more years of beautiful flowers from it. :-)
