| I have a friend that has a growing question for you all.
...I'll have full sun...very hot Southern Louisiana sun, and I want (perhaps) a flowering or somehow entertaining vine or plant that will grow up a hot metal railing at a 30 degree slope.
Okay guys can you help my friend out here? I was worried Hibiscus would burn.......

| I used to live in 9b extreme southeastern LA. You could grow mandevilla, bouganvilla (not sure of spelling), black eyed susan vine, passiflora, even a climbing rose. There are others like trumpet vine, and honeysuckle. I am not sure how all of these attach, you would have to do a little googling on each of them or google southern flowering vines. You should have a lot of choices. |

| One of my favorite flowering vines is Mexican Flame. It dies back to the ground in a hard freeze, but is quick to put out new growth in the spring. Blooms all summer into the fall. |

| Hi from Belle Chasse. Just passing thru and can't help putting a few words in....for one of our favorite Vines - Coral Vine - Antigonon Leptopus. It's welcome to get invasive at will. Attracts hummingbirds (should be here soon) and butterflies. Bea |

| I grow lots of different vines: Clematis, numerous Passifloras, Gloriosa lily, mandevilla, etc. but my most absolute favorite vine in the Rangoon Creeper. Steve |

| I planted Confederate jasmine to go around my aluminum "wrought iron-look" fence in our backyard, just about a month ago, and already I'm seeing a few new blooms. So far they are doing fine on their own, interwining between each post. I love that they are somewhat perennial and maintenance free, and the fragrance is so nice! |
