First flowering here

Paul S got me this Tecomanthe a number of years back, sadly too tender for outdoors here, I did supply Lammoran with one years back when Mark Brent was still there, and he gleefully sent me a picture of it flowering one Christmas but then it died in the cold in January! Here it lives in a pot in the conservatory during winter then outdoors for the summer.
I only just noticed the flowers when cleaning up today, its obviously been flowering for a while as most of the flowers had dropped but its been so wet and windy we haven't been out in the conservatory much recently (and if I am brutally honest the flowers are not that eye catching!!)
