I'm not entirely sure, but that almost looks like a mix of Corysanthes and Acianthus.

I didn't get that impression at the time. Will have to check next year, if they don't burn it in the meantime.

Maybe you are right. They look a lot darker than the Corysanthes I've seen. The one at the top of your first photo looks a little like Acianthus to me, but that might be the stuff in the way confusing me...
