Default Ctsm. (fuchsii x expansum) photo and question

Greetings -
This plant, labeled fuchsii x expansum, has just bloomed - the flowers are not large (like expansum), but have an appealing mahogany color, greenish overtones, and are well-scented.
So, my question: Ctsm. Thinger Dinger (mine is in bud), is expansum x fuchsii (opposite pollen and seed parents) - however, it is still the same, right? i.e., I can label this plant Thinger Dinger?
It will be interesting to see how the flowers on the plant actually labeled TD compare. Well, maybe only interesting to me!
Regards - Nancy
p.s. a week in the house (hurricane Gustav) seems to have thrown the Catasetinae into early leaf-shedding.

I too am no help with your question, though my guess would be that you could label it as a "Thinger Dinger!" That is a really neat looking flower too! Its like looking into the mouth of a fire breathing dragon or maybe a pumpkin with a candle in it. Depends on your level of imagination I guess! Either way, great looking flowers!

Don't know if this would be TD or not, but whatever you call it, it's still sweet!
