Quite a mouthful, but a very nice plant all the same. Otherwise known as Lipstick Plant. I bought a small one about 16 months ago and it's grown quite large in its hanging pot. I've tended to ignore it but the other week I noticed it was starting to flower. It's now got quite a few clusters.

Thanks. It's hanging off the verandah. I'll have to try some cuttings and hang a few around the garden. Those flowers are still going and there's more buds forning.
