Crinodendron hookerianum and patagua

 
Crinodendron hookerianum
A deservedly popular large shrub - the dangling cherry red blooms contrasting well with the dark green foliage. Highly recommended for the same lime-free woodland conditions as for Rhododendrons and Camellias but invaluable for flowering in mid to late summer. Needs shelter but not as tender as is often imagined. Especially good against a north-facing wall where the stock plant has come through the last few winters without trouble.

Crinodendron patagua
Potentially a much larger species with greenish white flowers and broader foliage, and in my experience distinctly hardier. These plants are self-sown seedlings from our frost-pocket of a garden.
Not often mentioned in the literature are the unusual, somewhat Euonymus-like fruits.
