ID this vine please!!

This pretty vine was in the Houston Natural Sciene Museum's Butterfly display exhibit. What is it?

I don't know but sure is pretty. How big does it get??

You might try posting in the ID forum, I bet someone there will recognize it.

Is it a type of adenium may be??

I have no idea, and can't help ID, but I want one!

This vine, I would guess was at least 10 feet in height but I can't be certain.

The flowers remind me of Jatropha, but they're not vines.

I know, send us all a piece and we will see what we can do about "more identification", LOL. It looks like it might be some kind of succulent.

me, me, i want a piece and i promise to do my best to identify it! LOL

It is a psiguria vine.

I got the orange(psiguria umbrosa) and red(psiguria triphylla) from our local butterfly exhibit at the Texas State fairgrounds. They have an annual plant sale.

That one is a really pretty pink. Did you get any, or just pictures?

This picture shows the umbrosa covering the catwalk railings to the left of the picture

and this picture show the triphylla near the spiral staircase.

Sadly this has now been torn down. The de-contruction began just after these pictures were taken, ...that is probably why they were so lenient with me taking seeds. Some things in the picture were salvaged, but many destroyed. :0(

here is an old thread of mine on the umbrosa

Thanks for the ID Seedpicker. This picture was taken in the Houston Natural Science Museum's Butterfly exhibit. There were no plants for sale. I wish there was. Now that I know the name I can find out about it's habit and if I can grow it here in Zone 8b to 9a. Thanks again. I will look at the thread.
