i think it might be cuphea. my yooungest grew it from seed and it was just called a 'fun plant for children.'

This is Cuphea llavea 'Tiny Mice' also known as "Bat faced Cuphea".

thats it tiny mice, i wanted to call them mickey mouse flowers but i knew that wasnt quite right. not heard them called bat faced but i think that is really good.

I had some in a hanging basket this past summer. Flowered like crazy. The hummingbirds really liked the bright red and kept coming to have a look. They couldn't figure out how to get the nectar though. They kept trying to get it from between the red petals (bracts?) instead of down the purple throat. Silly birds. :o)
