Can someone tell me what this is? I swear it was labeled a Maple at the place but this app says Red Vein Chinese Lantern but I’m not sure.

Definitely Chinese lantern of some sort. I don’t know much about them. Online it says some people do call them flowering maples. The leaves look a lot like maple

Thanks all. I’m pretty sure now it’s a Trailing Abutilon Variegatum. I really appreciate the help!
