You're too modest! The effort involved in getting to such a location is a credit to the photographer as well as the great shots!

Hard to tell from the photos (But come on, this is a secondary subject of the photo!) but likely H. lacunosa. If so, it gets tiny white flowers with pale yellow centers and has great smell. The leaves tend to get an alligator skin crinkle to them as it gets a bit older. (I've tried, for the first time, attaching 2 photos of H. lacunosa directly from my computer. This was a 3" cutting I collected in a Thailand rain forest last year. It now has two stems with an 8 foot spread and flowers regularly!
