Yes, that's a gesneriad, either a species or hybrid of the genus Aeschynanthus but your plant hasn't actually bloomed yet; what you're seeing are the decorative calyces. When it finally blooms (actually when the unopened buds start poking out of the calyces) you'll find out why it's commonly called "lipstick plant"!

Thank you. That would explain why, when I dissected a "flower" I found a bud inside that seemed to contain immature flower parts.
