I bought this plant in a local shop. It's hanging in the kitchen. It bears these beautiful flowers throughout the summer months.

This is Aeschynanthus lobbianus (commonly know as lipstick plant). I came across it in B&Q I think last year. I thought it would not survive. But it's hanging in our kitchen. It did not have an flowers on it in winter. But this summer, it has bloomed. The flower is like a tube when it starts, the red bits grows through the tube and appears as you see it. I will find out a bit more about it, where it comes from etc...
