Sam of Los Perdidos Figured it out! This unusual flower is the bloom of the Pedilantus Bracteatus or “Beautiful Bird Flower Tree.” Thanks, Sam, for solving the mystery. Below was my original plea for a solution to what it is:
This is one of the most unusual succulent blooms I’ve ever seen It looks like a little person is inside with head erect and arms held out in front. The blooms are on the ends of very long stalks. Does anyone know what it is? Of course, I had to buy it along with the planter arrangement it was part of.

Yolanda calls my fuchsia vine flowers “aretes” or earrings, so this is what I call them, too.

This brand new hibiscus was at the height of its beauty today. It seems to float above the brick pathway of the garden.
