| I saw these photo's on another site just this morning, not my photo's. I have no idea as to the name, but if it is this vine it may help to get an ID.

There is a vine called Allamanda cathartica which apparently grows a little too well in parts of Qld. Commonly called Yellow or Golden trumpet vine.
Cheers,

| Len, if it is the same as the ones flowering roadside around here it is probably the declared weed, Cats Claw Creeper. Flowers late Autumn - Spring with yellow bell -shaped flowers. Flowers look similar to Allamanda. |

Hi again Len, I agree with the others. The cat's claw creeper (Macfadyena unguis-cati or Bignonia unguis-cati) is even more of a weed than the Allamanda. Cheryl's picture is the cat's claw creeper. Sorry if I confused the issue with a wrong identification. What can I say? I am only a humble Victorian! Lol.
Cheers,
Dee. |
