Re: evergreen flowering vine needed

>      flowers, I believe.  The entire plant is poisonous.  I have mine 

"Pride of Augusta?" I believe is one cv of Carolina jessamine... pride
of some southern city, can't recall which.

It is, however, EXTREMELY poisonous.  One flower can send a child into
respiratory arrest and only if the child is put on a ventilator will
s/he survive.  The flowers are bright yellow and *very* fragrant, almost
like honeysuckle on speed, so they may be attractive to a child.  There
have been several deaths or near-deaths with this plant.  Use with
caution as you would digitalis, oleander, or any other extremely toxic
plant.

I must mention this because oaks are poisonous, all members of the
Prunus family are poisonous... but in larger amounts or in less
attractive form (eg Iris rhizomes...)...
