Could somebody please identify this bush/shrub for me.

People walking past admire it (it blooms virtually all year round) and ask me for the name.
It needs pruning at least every 3 month.

If the flowers turn into berries it could be a Pyracantha.:confused013

Thank you Mary Anne. I looks like the Ixora coccinea, even though the clusters on mine are not quite as pronounced as shown in the wiki.

Thank you Niki. There seem to be quite a few varieties and colours. I do think that my lot resembles the Coccinea variety the closest
