Aren't they gorgeous? I wish I could take an credit other than providing water and sunlight. The individual flowers are 3-4 inches long, very impressive.

Here it is again

(and a plant geek that would know thinks these are Columnea and he's likely right.)
Looks like Columnea 'Stavanger' or one of the many hybrids that are similar. Sort of looks like C 'Cascading Beauty'

I think you're right Harry. Here's a close up, and it has ovate to round leaves that are variegated. Click the image to open in full size.

This one is labeled as Aeschynanthus lanceolatus Do you think that one is correctly ID'd?

My Ceratostemma rauhii is green with jealousy! It refuses to bloom!!

I think your A. lanceolatus is correct. My plants have not bloomed yet but I hope they do soon b/c those are awesome flowers.

I love Lepanthes but they seem to be harder to get then most Pleurothallids.

That little Lepanthes calodictyon has been a little difficult, we've learned that it needs daily watering and since then has done pretty well. The other one we just picked up last month and also water daily.
