Maybe coral honeysuckle?

I've grown a few different vines in zone 10B. Alamanda seemed to be the slowest, but you really have to watch any vine in FL. I can say that Blue Sky vine and Mexican Flame Vine will outrun you!

Hi

here is a pic of my favorite vine Queens wreath (Petrea volubilis). The purple on the right . Here in a rare winter display rather than the usual spring fall though it flowers off and on all year . That vine is around 30 years old and has been pruned 3 times !! never watered nor fertilized is bug and disease free You can also get these in white or a bicolor one that is purple and magenta gary

How about stephanotis? Its very slow growing, and smells amazing!

Well, hehe, my Mexican flame vine-in pots in a warm greenhouse-is growing by leaps and bounds, and is full of flowers! Poor growers-I stopped in Friday to apologize for creating this challenge for them, our planting season still at least three weeks away! I wonder how big and sprawling those guys are going to be before we can plant them out. Certainly appears to be a viable idea, if it doesn't go out of control!

"That vine is around 30 years old and has been pruned 3 times !! never watered nor fertilized is bug and disease free".... be still my beating heart! That sounds right up my alley (or chain link fence!)

The pruned 3 times is my favorite part, the chain link sits up against a wooden fence of the neighbors. My other 3 fences are wooden, there is just the one lonely chain link and I don't feel like bothering to try and pull it up, so why not turn it into something of an advantage instead of eyesore, but I don't want to piss my neighbors off by growing some monster on my side of the fence!

Ohh I googled the Mexican Flame Vine... yes that would out run me in a heart beat! I remember seeing them high in the old oak trees on my commute from Plant city to Tampa on I-4 - if I can see them from afar while hurling 80 miles per hour then I know they really can take over! I however LOVED seeing that tree everyday and always wondered what the flower was on it.

It reminded me of the other coast of FL where I grew up, it reminded me of a grand royal poinciana tree (I had to google AE Bakus and orange tree to find the name of the tree - wish I could keep names in my brain) If I ever own a good size lot of land and have some oak trees I am gonna get a Mexican Flame vine so I can mimic the Grand Royal Poinciana tree. umm I wonder if they grow here in Tampa? I don't recall seeing them, maybe it gets just a tad too cold for them to very popular here.

Down jut a little bit south I think. Yes, I've enjoyed looking at pics of those too! Delonix regia. I've said much the same thing right here on this forum-that if I had the place down there to do it, I'd be growing one of those also!

Hello

my neighbors recently replaced their board fence, completely disrupting my hedge lol was hoping they would pull out the chain link but not to be Think I'll replace with some of the fancy Hibiscus more of a shrub border than hedge .. Will keep a couple of the Cape honeysuckle as it's such a magnet for hummers so guess I'm stuck with oranges, yellows There goes my blue /purple theme lol gary

I still dont have a vine (well I have a small bleeding heart in a pot) I do have Morning Glory seeds I have been meaning to plant... I love and fear vines!

Oh, Gary, how sad. That was the most beautiful photo.

Was that a pink Alamanda growing next to it?

Love the color combo.

I was going to suggest bleeding heart. It doesn't go crazy and its so pretty. Which kind do you have, the white or the pink?

My neighbor has a chain link running along one side of our property. I planted a Mandevilla vine in a pot in front of the fence. There is a blue Plumbago growing there and some sort of Jasmine vine. All, but the Mandevilla vine was there when we moved into the house.

I didn't expect anything from the Mandevilla because I bought it at Walmart almost dead. They said I could have it for $1.00. I bought it for the pot it was in. So I stuck it by the fence.

It grew over the past 3 years, slowly but does flower on and off most of the year. I actually forget about it so it doesn't even get watered.

This spring, I noticed how the Blue Plumbago and Jasmine Vine all grew into each other making a very pretty show.

Now I regret not having planted the Mandevilla directly in the ground. Its very pretty and not aggressive at all. It hasn't grown much over the 3 years its been in the ground. Unfortunately, it rooted through the bottom of the pot so I'm afraid to remove it.

Gary, the swallowtails love the blue Plumbago!

Jane

The pink flowers are the Mandevilla. Just lovely!

Jane

It has, or hopefully still has both, when I bought it they must have both in the same pot. I almost killed the poor hing, it needed to be potted up so badly during the summer and it was unhappy no matter where I put it, a few weeks ago I finally got around the repotting it and OMG the root boundness was crazy crazy crazy. It had been in a hanging basket and when I took it out I had to cut inches of bound root and when I thought I had it all I found a plastic liner in the roots with another layer of gnarled roots I had to cut away... I kinda wish I had my phone with me at the time to take pics, but I fear if I had shown such plant abuse someone would have hunted me down!!!! It is doing so much better now and even has a few flowers again and so far it has been the white, hoping the pink/red ones survived and will soon bloom again.

I bought it back in like march/april I cant believe it survived.

Podranea ricasoliana

Clematis terniflora

Clerodendrum

Patrea

Seems C. terniflora might be a problem...

Clematis terniflora @ Floridata.com

I haven't personally had any issues with it, although I have heard others say they have...
