Just went to Lowes and they had one plant left of this flowering hanging pot. I thought it was very colorful and would add color hanging at our entrance. It has red-orange flowers. No tag on it so I do not know what it is. Can anyone help identify it?

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Aeschynanthus lobbianus or "lipstick vine" I think

I thought the same, Lipstick flower (vine) but there are different forms of it and this one seemed a bit different and much more floriferous too. Think you are right, a form of it anyway. Thanks.
