Oh Calin both of your plants are lovely but your Bleeding Heart Vine/Clerodendron Thomsoniae is my favourite.  
How I wish I had beautiful indoor plants like yours.
I have many and varied house plants from a Clivia Lily to a Devil's Ivy. I have them on any available surface that I can put a pot on (and that OH will allow me to have them) so my house looks a bit like a jungle.

thanks eileen.
i also have lots of pots everywhere. i am thinking about giving some awayto friends around cause when winter comes i won't have so much space.
i also love that clero. saw it first in taiwan when i lived and worked there.
came home, and saw it on a romanian forum and decided i wanted it.
and a friend sent me a cutting.
cool, huh?

Oh to have friends like that!!! I'm going to keep an eye out at our nurseries and garden centres to see if I can pick up one of those gorgeous clero for myself. I just have to have one NOW - if not sooner.

hi eileen, ur post made me giggle because that is exactly what my house looks like at the moment, anything that can hold a plant does and will. in fact, my friends have affectionately named my place "the jungle". it creeps a few people out though lol. ♥

thanks.
and well, if you don't want to spend on a grown plant, someone will def. help you with a cutting or 2.
i find them easy to root...
so...
it is a vine but can be pruned frequently and kept bushy.
