This Wax Vine native to eastern Australia has very large round leaves. This one had a lot of flowers spikes (the most I've ever seen) in the Botanical Building, Balboa Park, San Diego, CA. Photo taken Nov. 13, 2012.

Thanks! I guess they need more sun (there) to continue to bloom through winter.

They needed more sun in the summer, let alone the winter!

Indoors, where they bloomed well enough. Would have been no good outdoors this "summer"!

Maybe a south-facing location outdoors would be good for it during summer.

Very nice! They're hibernating for the winter here.
