Macro Flower Saturday

I saw these beautiful flowers, all in the same bush in a New Zealand bush/jungle/forest. All three were formed differently from the others, but they were very beautiful. I have not tried to look for their names.
Hi Ann,
These flowers are from the tree fuschia (scientific name: fuschia excorticata ) (Maori name: Kotukutuku)
It is the world’s tallest fuschia (up to 12 m) and is found throughout new Zealand.
The berries can be eaten, either raw or made into a jam. The wood is very difficult to burn.
Cheers
Warren

I hope someone can identify them for you.
Love their deep red color.
Lovely photos Ann. These are Leycesteria formosa (Himalayan Honeysuckle, Flowering Nutmeg, Himalaya Nutmeg or Pheasant Berry). The pink parts are bracts, while the bell-like white parts are the flowers.
Thank you for participating in Floral Friday Fotos!
