My first thought was Dicentra scandens but then I read your wife hates
yellow which is a shame so how about Dicentra scandens Pink Heart, if you
can find it. Has orchid pink blossoms and is hardy

I didn't know you could get dicentra in yellow!
My pink+white one is just coming into flower. They don't last very long
though. :-(

We have the yellow one and it's very attractive, imo. We had it growing
up a Cordyline but I think it's been lost when the Cordyline got the
chop. But we have it growing in a small greenhouse and it looks very
attractive. Luckily, both set a lot of seed last year and this climbing
one does flower over a long period.
