    I think we'll have to forget Z for a climbing plant and start with A again. [​IMG]

    I have this but with pink/purple flowers. Doesn't do good by me (twice now) for some reason so have uprooted it and bagged it for K-G and have replaced it with a Hardenbergia.

    A lovely shrub though! [​IMG] for me!

    er, sorry this is harking back a bit, but a thought for climbers beginning with "Z" : either Zehneria scabra or many of the Zebrina's.

    How about Dalechampia dioscoraefolia (Costa Rican Butterfly Vine) for "D" ?

    ;)
