Oh boy, that is a nice photo of a beautiful butterfly Juhur.

Mrs. Ed...it's a beauty! I love those flowers. Are yours fragrant? Some other Dgers say their flame vines have no or very little fragrance. My flowers do not stink up the neighborhood but they do have the most delicious fragrance. My experience has been once they start to flower they just keep going, flowers and more flowers and more! It's fun. Here are a couple of pics. When i installed the arch, i had to cut back the one growing in the ground that had been growing up another type of support. I also had one growing in a pot as a precaution and this is the one that is flowering. The one in the ground at this time had been cut down to about a foot high. The long shot of the vine shows that it has been too busy climbing to make flowers but i'm sure it will because it has a really nice sunny in the morning spot. You can see in the long shot photo how when the vine reached the top it just wasn't sure which way to go and so it is going a little bit in every direction. I have it growing near the Dalechampia and there is some fraternization going on. Every now and then i sort the two vines out if i see one of them overtaking the other but they seem to be pretty well matched in terms of agressive behavior...it appears to be a friendly fraternization for the most part :-). I am sure you are going to love your vine!
