Randy,
I even got your name from the post you made about the Beaumontia grandiflora back in 2006 along with picture in plant files. You say this plant wants full sun. Mine has been sitting under a large live oak and seems to be growing just fine. Doesn't look like a vine though, at least not yet. It may have been my purpose to plant it there so it may climb up the tree. Full sun here in FL can mean death to many plants as the summer heat is quite strong. I have a feeling most plants like the speckled light where they get some protection from direct sunlight. I'll review the location tomorrow. First thing I have a plant to tour with the Naples Botanical Society here in my neighborhood. I want to check on the competition. :-)

Let me see what do I hang on here? How about a nice azalea?
