Looks a little like an Asarina Alex...........
Any photos of the foliage?

Yes, I want to have this in my garden Crissue.

I looked at Asarina Meanie....not too sure.
I will check my mobile, I'm sure I took a few more shots.
The camera on my mobile is crap.

It looks more like Thunbergia dregeana, which is native to Zimbabwe, South African.

I don't blame you, what about collecting the seeds from the vine, if you can't get a cutting...it's a real creamy yellow...

Found it:
Macfadyena unguis-cati, or Cats claw vine, is a native from West Indies and Mexico to Argentina

It's not that common old vine! lol! :>)
This vine is super common throughout all of California.
(as you can tell it's not my favorite vine).

lol...I can tell you don't like it. It's not very common here.
I'm going to take a cutting next time I walk by (unless I find one for sale first).

I'm amazed that it's not a very common vine there. This vine is available in all nurseries here.

Did you do any more about obtaining the Vine Alex....!!
Personally I would grow in a Pot, as it's so vigorous....wouldn't want it to take over....brilliant if you have a bare wall to cover quickly, but the flowers are short lived...

No Crissue. I haven't been that way for a cutting. I haven't seen it in the nursery either. I'm going to stay away from climbing plants for now. I think I over loaded my fence?!?!

I don't think I blame you on this one...pretty but could be deadly....stick with clems lol..
Do your clocks alter at all in Greece, here in France we go back an hour...!
30 Oct, 2011
Yes, we went back an hour as well. Don't like it at all.

No not happy either, they should leave well alone...

I think as of next year we are going to stay on Summer time. That's what my daughter tells me....don't know where she heard it from but it sounds good to me.

There's always talk every year as to whether it should stay as it is...Would be better....for sure...

Not I....but I love the colour of the Flower set against its foliage...
