Thumbergia is sometimes called "creeping zinnia". It has small yellow
flowers and will get about 3 or 4 foot ling. It's great for hanging
baskets.

You'll hear people cann thunbergia "clockvine" sometimes. I've seen it
in three varieties: orange-y yellow with black center eye, white with
black center eye, and orange-y yellow with green center eye. It likes
the sun and dislikes the cold weather. It will hold it's own during
the summer with a little watering, but it won't bloom much, if at all.
I think it kills back entirely over the winter. But it self-sows very
easily with no human intervention. It twines, and we grow it on rabhit
fencing and on nylon peanet. Right now, since it's been cooler, it has
begun blooming again.
