Well, duh, regarding question asked to Grandpa bob or anyone else.....

It is a Fuschia. They are native to South and Central America and New Zealand. It was named in 1703 after German botanist Leonhard Fuchs.

Deebomb is correct. Here's a link to help ya out with care. http://www.weidners.com/fuchsia.html Planting :- use a good quality compost this does make a difference, no need for water retention granules or slow release fertiliser. For the centre / back piece try using Euonymus or any other evergreen shrub (small shrub liner 9cm pot), Heather, Dwarf Conifer or ornamental Cabbage (Kale) infill with hardy alpines :- Sedum, Acena, Thymes, Cineria, Ivy, Ajuga and Saxifrage to name but a few and pansies, make sure they are the winter flowering type i.e. Ultima, Universal, challenge etc. Viola Avalanche, Primulas, Dianthus and a few spring flowering bulbs (dwarf). There is no need to water baskets everyday, just check the weight of them by lifting slightly you will soon tell if they require watering by the weight of them.

Fuschias grow in England too so they do grow in colder climates, they do die off in the winter but flower all summer and if allowed can turn into quite a big shrub. I've always loved them I think they look like tiny ballet dancers, and there's an amazing variety of different colour combinations to choose from now not just the old purple and pink.
