Blaze into the Spring with the Orange Trumpet Vine
This evergreen climbing plant is sometimes also called the Flame Vine, but it's Botanical name is Pyrostegia venusta. A native to Brazil, it is frost-tender so it's suitable only for temperate to warm climates. Plant it in a sheltered sunny postion , and provide a sturdy trellis or pergola for it to climb over, because when it flowers in late winter/spring, the plant becomes very heavy. It is ideal to plant in positions where you need privacy as it quickly covers a large area of a fence if provided with adequate support. I took these photos in North Sydney.

Thanks for promoting the post !
You are very welcome. It's my pleasure. Stephen
Pyrostegia venusta is a liana (a vigorous, woody climber) that makes a beautiful ornamental plant with cascades of orange flowers. It is commonly grown in tropical and subtropical areas, as well as in mild Mediterranean climates. The plants form dense masses, growing up trees, on walls or over rocks, and are covered with flowers in the cool, dry season.

Fav. comment Award !! Very nice choice of Pics, thanks.
The fire liana has many names: Flame Vine, Flaming Trompete, Golden Shower, Orange Trumpet Vine, Hua Pala Vine ... But it is scientifically called Pyrostegia venusta: Pirostegia is charming.
Pyrostegy - evergreen with bright orange flowers. Pyrostegia is a real liana up to 25 m long, fixed on the support with the help of antennae. The main ornamentality of the plant is attached to large inflorescences with long non-expanding elongated flowering buds. The opened flowers quickly disappear from the sepals, continuing for some time to hang on long curved stamens. Pyrostegia is a charming pyrostegia venusta - the only one of the 4 species of the genus Pyrostegia, widespread in the tropical and subtropical climate of the New World as an ornamental garden and park plants.

Pyrostegia venusta (Flame Vine) - Flame vine is one of the most spectacular flowering vines in cultivation. It is a vigorous, evergreen liana (a name for large woody climbers) that can spread quickly by tendrils to the top of whatever supports it, including fences, other plants or even small buildings by branching profusely and climbing using its clinging tendrils. It produces clusters of spectacular orange flowers in the fall through winter; the tubular flowers with exerted style and stamens are about 3 inches long and occur in clusters of 15-20 at the tips of branches and they often hang downwards under their own weight so are well displayed from below. Fruit, when set, is a slender dry capsules about 1 foot long. Plant in full sun or part shade and water regularly.
It is cold hardy to short durations temperatures down to 25° F and resprouts from the ground if nipped back. Though we think of this vine more as a plant for coastal gardens, we have been told by a gardener that he has quite successfully grown this plant in the heat of the Arizona desert. It is a vigorous vine that left on its own will densely cover what is supporting but it can be easily pruned to maintain a more open look and is a useful vine to cover an arbor or trellis at the front gate, trained on a rock wall or to cover a long fence line. It is attractive to hummingbirds.

This evergreen climber bears the most wonderful showers of orange, tubular flowers in winter/spring. It has attractive, lush green leaves which are paired along the sinewy, thin branches.
This vigorous plant has strong twiners which will cling to almost anything, including bare brick walls - though a strong trellis or fence is best as when it is full of bloom it will be quite heavy. It will flower at its best in a sheltered sunny position and be an absolute delight in winter when many other flowers are dormant.
This is a hardy plant it will tolerate coastal conditions and once established frost, drought and even neglect

A vigorous evergreen climber which supports itself by means of coiled, thread-like tendrils growing from the apex of some of the bright green compound leaves. Abundant, bold orange flowers are produced from about mid July until October.
Pyrostegias are warm climate plants. They grow well in Sydney to Perth and areas north. They are also worth trying in coastal gardens further south and in Adelaide and inland areas in a warm position, with shelter from cold winds and frost
Striking when draped over a building or a structure such as a carport or over an old fence. A good choice in a country garden to conceal the tank stand.
The orange trumpet vine likes a sunny spot, excellent drainage and regular moisture particularly when it’s hot and dry. It also needs protection from frost and a support to climb over. Prune away spent flowers to encourage new growth in spring if desired.

This plant is very common on Magnetic Island, and is generally referred to as ‘Japanese Honeysuckle’. It is, however, neither Japanese, nor a honeysuckle!
This is a vigorous, fast-growing, evergreen woody vine that blooms in winter and spring with spectacular reddish orange flowers. The compound leaves have two or three 5–7.5 cm oval leaflets, and are arranged in pairs opposite each other on the stem. Often the centre leaflet is modified into a coiled, 3-part tendril. It branches profusely, and climbs by clinging with its tendrils. A single plant can reach to about 30 m long. The tubular flowers are about 7.5 cm long, and are borne in clusters at the tips of branches. The corolla has 5 lobes that are bent backwards, and the long orange stamens and style extend beyond the tube. The flower clusters may hang down under their own weight. The fruits are slender dry capsules about 30 cm long. The vine is native to southern Brazil, northern Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay.

A beautiful plant, my friend and Pyrostegia venusta is a low-maintenance vine, but like all vining plants, pruning is something it cannot do without!
Light: Prefers full sun to light shade. Tolerates partial shade but grows and blooms best with good sunlight.
Moisture: Medium water needs. Though highly drought tolerant when established, good to water regularly especially during hot and dry seasons.
Soil: Moderately fertile, light and moist, but well-drained soil. It tolerates many kind of soils: acidic, alkaline, clayey, sandy or loamy.
Others: Hard prune after flowering to encourage branching and promote more flowers, as well as to restrain huge and unruly size. It’s hardy and can tolerate severe prune if needed. Benefits from fortnightly or monthly feed with a flowering fertilizer though it require minimal feeding. Generally, pest and disease free but do watch out occasionally for scales, caterpillars and mites.
For subtropical regions: Hardiness: USDA Zone 9-11. Blooms sporadically all year long but perform best from late fall through winter but not in freezing regions. Shelter from cold winds and frost that may ruin young flowers and plant.
Propagation: Easily propagated vegetatively from semi-hard cuttings, suckers or layering. Also, by seed germination.
Usage: As a spectacular ornamental vine, Flame Vine is excellent for landscaping and to cover and decorate garden fences, trellises, arbors and arches and walls. Train them high if possible for the dramatic and spectacular floral display. For subtropical and frost-free regions, grow it to bring sunshine to your winter garden as it blooms best in winter when most others are sleeping.
Grow it as an attractant for hummingbirds and other pollinators if you’re a nature lover.
Pyrostegia venusta is used in traditional Brazilian medicine as a general tonic for treating diarrhea, vitiligo, cough, and common diseases of the respiratory system related to infections, such as bronchitis, flu and cold (ref.: NCBI, US PubMed). Thank you @ctrl-alt-nwo
