| HI folks, Thanks a ton for all your suggestions - I searched on line what you suggested and it is turned out to be Thunbergia erecta - no doubt! Very excited! I did not know that it blooms purple as well. |

| Thunbergia erecta alba...and did not know it was also available in white! |
|
| Yes its Thunbergia and it's beautifully grown. They tend to be rather straggly shrubs sending up new canes and though the flowers are lovely, the effect of your plant having being almost converted into a "hedge" is brilliant. The purple one is really pretty too. Let some part go to seed and you can probably swap with someone who has the other. |
