Re: A Nice Little Creeper
Well, I personally don't recognise it, but if it really is a "Wonga Wonga Vine" then the botanic name is "Pandorea pandorana".
That what you're after?

Re: A Nice Little Creeper
Pandorea pandorana has pinnate leaves, meaning each leaf has a stem with multiple smaller leaflets. I can't tell from the photo whether your vine fits that description. Have a look at the National Botanic gardens site. They usually have good info and photos for natives http://www.anbg.gov.au/index.html.MasonC wrote:Hey,

I have no experience wih Pandoreas as bonsai. As a climber they tend to be leggy and the branches are brittle when older.
Have fun.
Re: A Nice Little Creeper
thanx. i think this tree will have some great potential in the future because i only like vines when they leaves and flowers are sort of hnaging over the edge
