Is this a Pink trumpet Vine?

It certainly looks like species Pandorea, Ladyrob, except the flowers are a little smaller than I am used to. If it is jasminoides it is a 'Rosea' and not the standard one which is white with a mauve/pink throat. It could also be P. pandorana or 'Spearwood brush' which can also be mauve/pink. The Tecoma and Pandorea are so close to each other that there is some debate about whether or not they are actually the same species. They are certainly the same family (Bignoniaceae). If you can post some close ups of the flowers and the leaves on your 'Photos' page then somebody may be able to tell you exactly. I know Muddywellies has at least one and he may recognise it more precisely. Although as it is endemic to Queensland you may find out closer to home.

Comments appreciated John. This looks like Pandorea Rosea. I grow Pandorea Rosea Superba here overlooking north Dartmoor and your flowers look too small to be the later.

Right now my Pandorea's have just 'experienced' -10C with 'no worries', though they may flower a-bit-later-than-normal this summer as a result.

Is your pandorea planted in the garden? I understood them to be frost tender

Hello people three and thank you for your comments and advice. This vine is not endemic to Queensland, it is the only one I've ever seen and the only one in my town. I purchased the plant in 1986 at the local nursery and they cannot find another anywhere. many passers-by ask for cuttings it is so beautiful but I have never been able to get it to strike from a cutting. If it is a pandorea...it is modt certainly the frost hardy type...here in Stanthorpe..YES , here in Queensland Australia, we get heavy frosts and on rare occasions even snow, and the vine weathers it all. One of the vines is planted on a north western aspect in a little walled garden bed near the front door...and that is the one in the photo. The other is planted against a fernery on the south east facing a really windy tunnel coming up from from the nearby creek, it is well sheltered, does get knocked back by frost but continues to flower abundantly. What has me puzzled is that the flower has a yellow throat and the leaves grow in 4s about 12 inches between each cluster which then produces either two ore three flowers from single buds...not like any of the photos I've seen so far. Thanks for all the comments. I LOVE this vine!

They are not really very tender Andrew, half hardy would be a better description. A bit of straw and fleece is usually sufficient plus the insurance of keeping seed back. With the Pandorea you can do that, which is why I think Ladyrob has a Podranea which would also be quite happy in Queensland.
