Here's a picture of H. camphorifolia climbing up a tree along with a eriostemma and an epiphytic Medilina (sp?). See the reddish leaves clinging to the trunk? Look around them and you will see tiny clusters of magenta flowers that run all the way up to the top of the tree.
Scent-wise... subcalva- grape kool-aid, archboldiana (and macgillivrayii, onychoides, 'Kaimuki')- sickeningly sweet bubble-gum, aff. finlaysonii- melon, 'Iris-Marie'- not sure, very sweet, nice, but what is it?, cembra (odorata)- artificially scented lime bathroom cleanser (others love it, subjective, you know), all the lacunosas- carnations and some sort of light perfume, bella- freesia, pachyclada- camphor, nutmeg and rose.
