Japanese Maple/Lantern Tree

I planted this plant a year ago..It said it was a Japanese Maple/Lantern tree.
It grows very straight-up, and has thin stick like limbs. It's leaves do resemble maple leaves.
The neatest thing is that it has these lantern like blooms on it.
They look very much like Japanese paper lanterns. If you enlarge the photo you can see the veins in the bloom.

I like the darker orange "veins" in the bloom. Very pretty.
