Tropicals & Tender Perennials: August Blooms, 1 by hills

Here's a shot I got of it at the show, after I'd carefully arranged it to show that the poor plant had actually got flowers (it was a "Flowering Pot Plant" competition). By the time I came to collect it, it had ants crawling all over it - I think the sneaky beggars must have found the nectar on the flowers and told all their friends! I'll try and get another shot of it in its current location, happily hanging off the curtain rail, this weekend if I can.
When I got this plant late last year, it was in flower, but a complete mess (I think the postmen threw it around in its box or something :( ) and I worried about it for months, I didn't think it was very happy as it wasn't growing. But this summer it seems to have taken off - spent a lovely month at my parent's home where it was light and very warm - and is now much happier. Even got a couple of new vines, as well as quite a few flowers! My mother didn't believe that it was a hoya until I showed her the flowers!
