    Not sure where to put this. It is a houseplant, a container plant but for me an outdoor exotic.

    Aeschynanthus radicans, the Lipstick Vine. We had it last Autumn in a sunny spot which it did not like. So we moved it to the Arbour/Pergola and it has rallied around and started to bloom ...

      Yes looking it up it says humid, and apparently an epiphyite, a member of the gesneriace, most of which like a bit of shade.

      I managed to kill a columnea last summer by giving too much sun.
