    Looks like a Jacobinia carnea. They come in several colors, white, red and shades in-between.

    We know them here as Flamingo flowers. Now you know the Latin and common names for your pretty plant. :-D

    That is a beautiful bloom, but in our heat they probably will not live so I will enjoy the photo of yours.

    By the way, Djardin, if you would kindly add this plant to our GardenStew Plants data base just click..HERE and suggest this plant as it is not in our database at this time.

    Hey Toni, I have these in South Louisiana and they do fine with a little shade.
