WOW!!! That is gorgeous. I had one of those vines show up in my front flower bed...probably from a mix of seeds I tossed out. It is growing up a hummingbird feeder pole and putting out lots of blooms too.

Have you seen any butterflies nectaring from yours? Am thinking the Long-tail skipper (urbanus proteus) uses the vine as a larval host. I keep checking mine for eggs or caterpillars but haven't found any yet.

...here's a photo of the butterfly that I think uses it as a larval host. In this photo it is nectaring on duranta repens.
