No one seems to have mentioned this climber.
We have had it for many years, always in a sheltered position.
This year it has produced flower after flower and has filled the house with its sweet perfume in the evening.
The photo is from the middle of August and now, the middle of September there are at least 12 flowers on it in various stages of development

That's a beautifully grown Hoya, Hilary. Even in Brisbane I couldn't grow them so well. What would be the min. temp which your Hoya experiences?

I don't keep a record of the temperatures here.
It has been known to snow in Corinth but not last winter.
The place where the plant is growing is very sheltered with no direct sun at all.
Recently I was told by someone who lives in Athens, where it is colder in the winter than here, that he has two in his garden.
