I've had this for a few years, though never had fruit (maybe I should get another one to pollinate it). This year it has more blooms than it's ever had before. The bright red blooms are strongly contrasted against the dark green leaves on my plant, but all of the pictures I've seen show lighter colored blooms and paler green leaves.

Edit:
Actually, now that I've checked the PlantFiles database, some of the pictures there do look a lot like mine (they list it under the new genus that almost no one uses, so it didn't come up last time I searched on it):
