i moved into a new home 2 years ago. The garden had been left unattended for 4 years so it was like a jungle to say the least. The previous owner was a very keen gardener and had lots of shrubs. My job over the last 2 years has been to clear everything that had not grown too leggy, which was most of the garden. 

One of the plants I left because it was something that I have never seen before was this plant in the picture. I will post more pictures when the sun is in a better position. It has gone top heavy and I have had to place my shed in front of it as there was no other place to put the shed. I am keen to buy new plants of this kind but I do not know what it is. Can anyone please identify this shrub. It has holy type shinny leaves and long yellow and red bell shaped flowers.

i will post more pictures later when the sun moves round 

thanks

Probably Eccremocarpus scaber, Chilean glory vine.

Not Eccremocarpus, which is a climber with soft leaves, and tends to die down in winter.

I think you will  find it's a desfontainia
