Dalechampia dioscoreafolia also called Costa Rican Butterfly vine. It's hardy in zone 11, maybe 10.

I'm gonna try. I should ask Dee how hardy it is, she's the one I got mine from.

I just received this vine in my order from Logee's last month. It came in a 2 in. pot and I potted it up to 4 inch pot. It has grown quite a bit and even has it's first little flower on it. Sure is a pretty little thing. It's now time for it to go into another pot or the ground. I'll take a pic of it tomorrow, so you can see how cute it is. lol
