      Definitely a fuchsia, and a nice one too.

      I didn't notice until you pointed it out; thought I was going mad there for a minute

            Could be either F. Magellanica Gracilis ( which has long arching stems ) or F. Magellanica " Riccartonii " ( more upright and stiffer growth ).

            No such thing as " Riccardii ", sorry.
