    I've seen it in bloom in a glass house at Cotswold Garden Flowers - very impressive bloom, but it was more of a small shrub than a vine there.

      I am having a problem seeing some of the pictures and also difficult hopping between the link and here so have been trying to write things down. Hopefully I don't duplicate too much of what everyone else has said ...

      12 Plumbago ... I have one
      13 Euphorbia pulcherrima (Poinsettia, the non-hybrid version) ... I have one

      14 15 16 looks more like a Solandra grandiflora to me
      18 Malvaviscus (Turks Cap, Sleeping Hibiscus) .. I have one, a lovely shrub
      19 20 Lantana ... I have several
      34 I think perhaps Solanum rantonettii ... I have one
      36 Not sure about this, could be the Fremantle (can't think of the name but think Marley has one) vine or even Uncaria tomentosa (Cat's Claw blooming here at the moment)
      38 39 Obviously BoPs of the reginae species
      40 Bougainvillea of which I have 8 climbers and one shrub

      I don't see a Tecoma stans (Ginger Thomas) as I have one blooming at the moment and the No 11 looks like a climber and Tecoma stans is a small tree/shrub here. Must say though that there are a lot of yellow climbers/ shrubs here blooming currently and some are difficult to tell apart without a close up lookie. I have a lovely Hibbertia scandens but that is not blooming at present.

      I can take closer looks if you like for identification but may take a while.

      Isn't Solandra grandiflora more of a creamy colour? I am frequently wrong though..............

      Hi Keith, to be perfectly honest, they all look the same to me ... some are yellow, some are cream, some have stripes, some don't ...

      ... but think we all agree it's the Chalice Vine. Beautiful and evergreen but too big for my property hence me not having one.

      We are removing the Podranea ricasoliana from our property here as even cutting it back to the trunk it goes 10 meters in one season and is going all places we don't want it, however we have put one on our river property where it can scramble where it desires!

        I have lots of pods but they are still green. PM me your details if you want some seeds.

        That's kind, but I have too many tender climbers already!

        Hi Scorpio, nice shots! :dbgrtmb:
        It seems you have uploaded a mix of August and December pics, macro-shots (no foliage) also make life harder ;) , but here are some of my guesses:
        6 - Acacia dealbata mimosa
        17 - ipomoea
        23 - dipladenia/mandevilla
        24, 25 look like some oenothera variety, but the adjacent foliage is wrong. :biggrin:
        31 (29, 28) - anemone
        33 - mirabilis
        34 - solanum
        35 - hypericum var. X?
        36 - Yellow jasmine vine ? (I haven't seen an allamanda, but...:scratch:)
        41 - leaves make it a cyclamen (to me)
        42 - Is it the same rosette as 41? If not, and if it flowered in Dec in Cyprus, it could be an Erythronium dens-canis

        Many thanks for all the ID's there. I've renamed most now and the numbers on the remaining ones have changed slightly so if i missed anything do let me know.
