Took this shot in the semi-tropical greenhouse at the Chicago Botanic Garden but couldn't find any ID for it. So does anybody know what it is?

No idea what they are called Kathy but your photo shows them beautifully in this lighting.

I wish I could help you on this one, but I have not seen these before. Could it be some kind of trumpet? Kathy this is a beauty, the color is spot on gorgeous. tigs=^..^=

It is a yellow, hang me down, thingy Kathy.
Very popular for Hummingbirds that like to hover upside down.
Good shot.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Kathy, although I'm not a specialist in (sub) tropical flowers, I've searched a 'while' here and on other sites to know its name, but couldn't find the solution.
Initially I thought that it was a species of a brugmansia, but the shape of the leaves didn't match. I give up and hope that other friends can offer the solution. Very fine image though. Very well done again!

The Chicago Botanic Garden actually has an email you can use to ID plants. They also have a "Plant Finder" on their website. It kind of resembles a Lipstick vine and is also similar to an African fire bush.

Very beautiful image of a colorful trumpet-like plant.

It makes for a beautiful photo whatever it is. Honeysuckle like as I see it.

Kathy - This flower, yet to be identified here, is a beauty, as is the photo showcasing it.
