Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

Nice bloom - but what is it? The leaf is sort of like a jatropha, but I doubt that is the correct family.
And what is that thick trunk behind it?

I should let Mike W answer, but here goes.  It is an amazing flower, the vine can get a bit woody , so smart pruning is a must.
The trunk is probably a palm. Mike?

The trunk is from a Queen Palm. The first time Krista and I visited Mike it was only seven feet high. Today I would guesstimate it at 30 feet.

Mike your Hyacinth looks like floating compost {:-P;;
