Neutral MotherNature4 On Nov 11, 2004, MotherNature4 from Bartow, FL (Zone 9a) wrote:

This is a vigorous, tropical vine with many aerial roots. The goblet shaped flowers open white with purple lines, turning to a rich gold before falling. The heavy fragrance can cause nausea after long exposure.

This plant contains toxins similar to Datura.
