Can't see the photo, not there...

I can see a photo, but don't recognise it so far - any other pics, from further away so we can see growth habit? Otherwise, how big was it? Climber or freestanding? It looks quite like a Cuphea?

Ah yes got it now.Looks quite exotic. Don't know what it is.

Sorry - only photo I have. Thought it would be easy to find the flower at the time I took it! It was a freestanding shrub approx 6 foot high and 5 foot wide with quite an open growth. Just checked out the Cuphea and it isn't that unfortunately.

If its not one of the Cupheas, I'm all out of ideas I'm afraid, but I bet Andrewr will know what it is - let's hope he sees this query.

Was it indoors or outside?

It's Lonicera involucrata, a North American species that we in the garden here. The photo shows the bracts after the flowers have fallen and before the berries have developed.

Wow, that is nice!
That's a big thank you from me Ilex!

Slight clarification, after taking a look at our plant - the photos show two flower bracts which have aborted their berries.

The two small white scars in the centre of each bract are where the berries would have developed, and have now been dropped - a good 75% of the flower bracts on our bush have done the same thing, incidentally, probably because they weren't fertilised.

Cool, so now we know, thanks Ilex. You're lucky its been identified Dicornus - next time, a photo of the whole thing as well would be helpful, lol!

Many thanks Ilex. I will endeavour now to purchase the plant and make sure I keep the label. For future queries I will ensure that I take more relevant photos (Bamboo) to aid any identification. This is all new to me so still learning but a very useful website!

Seeing the whole plant often helps because you can see the growth habit, and any bark coloration, etc., so that's why I'm suggesting that. No matter this time, Ilex saved the day, fortunately.

Ooh, missed this one. One of my favourite shrubs!
