This climbing vine is one of the eight species of Clematis native to Australia, found in New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. It is deciduous, but bursts out in spring with masses of flowers 3-4 cm across. It goes by the common names of "Traveller's Joy" or, rather unkindly, as "Old Man's Beard".

Flowers on one of our Wonga Wonga (or just "Wonga") vines. The Wonga vine is a plant native to the east coast of Australia. In the wild the flowers are whitish to yellow, often with dark purple markings. They have been hybridised to give a range of colours for gardens (see also clickable PiPs). The tubular flowers are 10-25mm long.

Our native Wonga ( pandorea pandorana ) vines are growing along our side fence and are in full flower. Shown in the PiP are the white flowered ones, situated to the left of this image. Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable weekend, everyone. HFF.

When I posted a macro of some Wonga vine flowers a few days ago, Tacheles asked if there are any long billed birds to eat the nectar. It so happens there are, the birds are called Eastern Spinebills and I found I had some images of one taken a few years ago and not previously posted. Other photos are in the PiPs.

Australia's Barossa Valley avoided the ravages of phylloxera which decimated European vines in the late 19th century, so these old shiraz vines, at about 170 years, are among the world's oldest. Can't have a good wine without a song. :-)

Blossoms of the Wonga Wonga vine (Pandorea pandorana). The Wonga Wonga is an Australian native vine that now is popular in gardens, not least because of its flowers which are about 20mm long and have been hybridised to give different colours.
