A difficult vine is stephanotis (bridal flower). I had one mature one but it suddenly died one day.

Just dropped by your blog and was touched by the lovely poem.<br /><br />I think the bougainv in Australia last longer.

I am less prolific on my blog these days but still like to maintain a semblance of regular posting, albeit at wider spaced intervals. <br />Your climbers and flowering plants are wonderfully vibrant and lush. You must really enjoy the garden...We have a lot of colourful bougainvillea and bauhinia trees and creepery more prostrate bauhinia shrubs here too but the Rangoon creeper I am not familiar with.<br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814592055187462200.post-78742109139785985312010-08-26T22:47:06.143-07:002010-08-26T22:47:06.143-07:00Thanks for kind words.

This way, I only have to prune the branches. <br /><br />Thankfully my Bauhenia flowers more than 8 months of the year. It is at the side of the house. <br /><br />Originally there was a sandpaper vine (Petrea Volubilis) intertwined with the 3 creepers but it succumbed to too heavy handed pruning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083409767851425580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814592055187462200.post-30263970246055917912010-08-26T20:56:27.441-07:002010-08-26T20:56:27.441-07:00My Goodness!!!
