20 years ago

ok this vine flowers profusely this time of year very golden yellow flower could be small trumpet shaped flower leaves appear smallish, as car is being propelled along hiway at regular knots by speed queen lovely missus (don't tell her i said that) my eyes can't quiet focus that quick.

anyway this vine is growing up and over lots of trees along the highway north of gympie so far i haven't seen that it damages or kills the trees.

any ideas?

I saw these photo's on another site just this morning, not my photo's. I have no idea as to the name, but if it is this vine it may help to get an ID.

There is a vine called Allamanda cathartica which apparently grows a little too well in parts of Qld. Commonly called Yellow or Golden trumpet vine.
Cheers,

That is exactly it she says! Got me points for figuring it out. Blew my cover. She thought I was watching Adam Sandler play himself and his twin sister and David Spade cross dress.

Hi, I realize now that doing a search on potentilla brings up the shrubs and non-weedy perennials too, sorry. So I did a search of weedy potentilla PA and got Potentilla simplex, so it is possible this one is your weed. Though there are few other weedy ones it could possibly be, they will looks similar. My evil nemesis has rounder leaves, but still you can tell it is related to Potentilla simplex. Remy Here is a link that might be useful: Potentilla simplex

I also can't see your photo, but the only vine I can think of that truly has black and yellow flowers is the Australian vine, Kennedia nigricans, and is unlikely to be seen in USDA zone 8 conditions, but does just great here in coastal California.

Len, if it is the same as the ones flowering roadside around here it is probably the declared weed, Cats Claw Creeper. Flowers late Autumn - Spring with yellow bell -shaped flowers. Flowers look similar to Allamanda.

Hi again Len, I agree with the others. The cat's claw creeper (Macfadyena unguis-cati or Bignonia unguis-cati) is even more of a weed than the Allamanda. Cheryl's picture is the cat's claw creeper. Sorry if I confused the issue with a wrong identification. What can I say? I am only a humble Victorian! Lol.
Cheers,
Dee.
