Weed revisited

For those interested in my weed, it's Barleria repens, common name = 
Coral Creeper. It was ID by a guy with a native plant nursery who 
moonlights as "landscape reporter" for local public radio. He said it's 
native to Africa; it has been declared invasive in Hawai'i, and may 
soon be declared invasive in south Florida. It's hardy only to zone 10a 
and, according to a friend in Brazil, makes a wonderful hanging basket, 
which blooms pretty much all winter. Maybe I'll try that. Here's the 
link to my "weed" photo:
