Hard to tell. The next time it blooms try to post a picture just as it starts to open. Have you looked on the plant file pages. Here is a link to the Lipstick http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/53441/
And here is one to the Goldfish

Gingerose, it is a columnea also known as a goldfish plant. The nematanthus plants are also called goldfish. That second link is a good one. To me a columnea is a columnea and the nematanthus are the goldfish plants.
