Suggestions for Flowering Vine in zone 9a

Anyone have a suggestion for a flowering vine to grow up a trellis on the West side of a house in zone 9a?

In your climate there'll be tons of options...any thoughts on color, fragrance (or not), big showy flowers vs smaller ones, etc?

Well, something fast growing lol. We do have freezes here so it would have to be a plant that could withstand an occasional day below freezing in winter. I was thinking maybe a jasmine?

Besides the Jasmine, there's these, I grow all of them so know they work in our zone.

Passion flowers (many of which are hardy in our zone)
Lophospermum erubescens- http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/b/Scrophulariaceae/Lophospermum/erubescens/cultivar/0/
I grow both the white and lavender, cold AND heat hardy !

Mexican Flame vine will bloom in a part sun/shade or full sun.
Thunbergia grandiflora
Corkscrew vine
Butterfly Orchid Vine

thanks mjsponies! I'll check them out

I have been using Carolina Jessamine to cover up old ugly ornamental iron on my house.

They're native and fast growers. The dark green leaves and bright yellows flowers look nice in the early spring.

Rangoon Creeper, Clematis, Mandevilla Laxa, Bower Vine, Wisteria, those all do well in our zone but Wisteria is very aggressive so I would not personally want it near my house. There are so many choices in our zone, really depends on your expectations.

Edited to add:
Annie's Annuals has a really nice list of vines, many of which are our zone and might give you some ideas
