Badfish identified a plant for me too. Smart GOYer.
Mandevillia is a vine. So it will need some kind of support They do not like full sun. Filtered sun is the best. I grow it as an annual here on Vancouver Island. I could bring it inside when temperature outside is below 50deg. but we live in Mexico in winter months.... and it indeed is perennial there. You have there nice and healthy plant W1nk.

We bought this plant in France and it flowered for five years non stop... it grew to about 4 ft not an easy plant though........started to decline so OH managed eventually to get two cuttings going, which hopefully will do as well as the parent plant did......if I still have a photo of the original I will pop it on so you can see how large it became.

Nice, I am so pleased with this plant, I am just sorting all my plants ready for next year cutting back etc, and guess what, well I will put another picture on site, it is still blooming
