Recommended potted vine for full sun patio fire escape

Greetings! I am looking to plant a vine to add some beauty to the big ugly iron fire escape on my patio, on the West side of the house. The patio is fully paved, so the plant needs to live in a pot permanently. I tried a blue sky vine which at first was lovely, but the heat was too intense for it, since it gets many long hours of afternoon sun. I'm concerned bougainvillea would be too heavy and put too much weight on the fire escape railing (which needs to remain functional). Native/butterfly friendly would be a plus not not a must. I would really appreciate recommendations as I don't want to hurt another plant friend. I live in Miami, FL Zone 10b.
