How lovely, are they fragrant ?
I like the glossy leaves, is that its woody stems too ?

Thanks! I have found this vine very difficult to photograph...I think it may be the fact it blooms in winter (maybe due to the lower sun angle or possibly my camera setting).

Here's some other photos of this vine.
