Re: Climbing vines?

Hi, Nan.  Has anyone suggested Cat's Claw Vine, (Macfadyena unguis-cati, I 
think)?  It is very drought tolerant, nearly evergreen, covers itself in 
large, yellow trumpet-vine type flowers in summer, and is self-supporting 
(climbing by little hooks).  I have also seen Lady Banks' Rose, both yellow 
and white cultivars, used to good effect on bare slopes along freeways in the 
Fresno area.  It only blooms in the spring, but is spectacular when in bloom, 
and it retains its glossy foliage year-round.
