| I'm looking for some tropical brightly colored vines to cover a lattice fence about 40 foot long. I have several kinds now but have about 30 more foot to go. I can send postage or trade something on my have list. Any one have any to trade? |

| Allamanda is good. It's drought tolerant and flood tolerant (although not continual waterlogging). |

| Can you show pictures of the suggestions? I'm not familiar with these? I'm sorry. They do sound good. And I just found a picture of the blue sky vine and that is heavenly> I really want that one , maybe several. Anyone with it, PLEASE d-mail me. I am thinking of putting a frame up and lattice on top and run the sky vine over the top of the lattice over my pond to make some shade for the water plants. OH, my imagination is running wide open. The possibilities!!! Also need vines to cover the lattice fence as well.

| That's the yellow Allamanda. There's other colours but it seems the hardiest as far as I'm aware.

| Unfortunately your quarantine people might have something to say about that. But there should be lots of it available where you are. I've seen dwarf forms and even variegated ones. Check it out on the plantfiles:

| Yellow allemanda is very easily found at Lowes etc. and usually for a very fair price. Nice plants for like eight bucks.
The sky vine can get very invasive here but your frost will probably keep it in check. Send me a dmail and we can work out the details. |
