See pics, not as good as they could be as I had to take the flower to
the camera so about 45 mins without water in the car.
It flowere look almost like Montbretia flowers.
I am trying cuttings, failing that I will be back for seed.

Try Lonicera x tellmanniana. There's a named very orange variety, which I used to have, but I can't recall the name. It's a lovely plant, but unfortunately doesn't have the good scent.
