wondering if I hit the post button?

Yes it shows up. Having leaves along with the flowers is helpful. These look like the seeds are already forming inside. Is this the case? Are they this color the whole bloom period, and are there 4 petals or parts or just 3?

Perhaps purple bell vine (Rhodociton Atrosanguineus)?

from my friend who took the picture:

That's not it, it has white flowers & is a shrub that they trained into a small tree. The seed pods are the only thing that's pink. I don't know if I'll get to go there again. I do wish I had taken pics of the leaves. Thank you for looking

Look at Clerodendrum perhaps?

Yes, check out Clerodendrum thomsoniae.
