Pandorea pandorana [Pandorea and pandorana = all gifted, and refers to Pandora's Box and the way the pods open to release the seeds]
A vigorous woody climber, scrambling along fences and over trees creating a beautiful display in winter/spring, when the bunches of creamy flowers with wine red markings in the throat are at their best. Aborigines used the canes for spear shafts. Today many of the other species of Pandorea and their hybrids are grown in gardens.
Family BIGNONIACEAE
