Plant ID pleeeeeaaase??

As I mentioned in my hello thread I have a plant that I can't identify.
Only problem is, the ID tag was missing and the garden centre staff didn't have a clue what it is.
I bought it anyway as it's soooo nice.
It was with the cacti and succulents so I assume it's a succulent
If anyone can ID it for me and possibly give me some care info I would be soooo grateful :D






This is exactly how it looked when I bought it. I have since gently wiped the leaves and re-potted it ( original pot was far too small! )

Fingers crossed for a positiveID :thku:

 

My first thoughts are of the genus Hoya (looking at the leaves anyway...) but the flowers throw dampener on that =]

 

I think it might be some kind of Metrosideros.

Its not a succulent.

 

I think Pete is right, looks like Metrosideros Thomassii, one of a few all commonly known as the New Zealand Christmas Tree.
Garden Centre staff often don't know one plant from another.:skp:

 

This is New Zealand christmas tree. For some reason my pic isn't there but stronylodon has one further down

That's exactly what it is - woohoo!!
Thank you so much Pete, strongylodon and Rhyleysgranny
