i have had this Max. tennefulia for close to 3 years and i have done a few different things to try to make it happy and i confess i had many missteps and mistakes.
I was always getting slow but steady growth and it never went the wrong direction so i would tinker and i think that was just upsetting the plant.
i moved it to a brighter spot and got two flowers!!! it is a big-ish plant and i think it was just using the energy to grow and now it has the reserves full LOL

Already got them in SH... Excellent! Less down time for me!  And when it's ship time, whack me off a start of that adenium! Gorgeous color.
I can see why that's one of your favorite blooms... is it a Blc of some sort?
Purple Cherokee.... you'll never go back. And more than a little jealous you're getting ready for a fresh one in February. {{sigh}} Six more months if I'm lucky.

I think your orange honeysuckle is actually a Cape Honeysuckle (Tacoma capensis) We had a long hedge of it in a previous house consisting of many individual plants and not one was fragrant.
I dont think its related to the honeysuckle at all. It must be the shape of the bloom that gave it the honeysuckle in its common names.
Its a fast grower, nit covered our fence in height and length in double quick time which is why we chose it.
Some gorgeous blooms, Ill bet you could just throw a cutting in the general direction of your garden and get a spectacular display.
Just as well given the rough weather you can get, plants need to re-establish quickly.
