<< Its seeds might be available from the Banana Tree,long ago I saw it in
 Thompson and Morgan(where I too fell in love with its exotic looks).As I
 recall they(T&M) said this was not an easy plant from seeds.
 
 Check with some of the Tropical plants sites, Logees etc., to see if you
 might get a plant if you cant get seeds.Just remember it (if it were to
 grow to its normal size)will need tropical conditions year round and a
 very strong support to show off the flowers that you are attracted to.
 Good Luck, >>

Connie,
         Thanks  for the information. Where did  you find  the botanical
name? Was it an online database  you'd like to share with us.
         I  like to try various   exotic seeds.  I was hoping to try to grow
it in a tub and  bring it in on my  patio for the winter. In Louisiana, our
winters aren't generally that harsh. We  do get  freezing weather from time
to time. I have friends ( and myself)  that grow plumerias outside  and bring
them into  a garage  or enclosed carport for over wintering with good
success. I was hoping to come across someone from a more
 tropical/subtropical region who  has actually grown the vine.   Thanks for
the info.
