Default Climbers

Hi I am looking for a common, affordable climber to let grow over some
lattice.

Can anyone suggest some easily obtainable climbers, any links to photos
would be good. If not, just names will do and I am sure I'll be able to find
the photos myself.

Australian climbers would be preferred, but hey, I'm open to others also.

Thanks in advance,
Anthony

I have a clematis growing over mine. I live in a cool climate though.

What about star jasmine? It has a gentle fragrance, nothing like as
suffocating as that of the other jasmine. Affordable? Get some from
a neighbour for nix!

I agree star jasmine is good, we have some on our side fence and it smells lovely on sping/summer nights, we cant smell it that much during the day though, I think the other scents must over power it lol.

I have no idea here -- but perhaps the jasmine uses a night moth for
pollination, rather than a day insect? The stronger night scent, and
the stark white cross that marks out the landing zone might be there to
guide a nocturnal visitor towards the jasmine's nectar under low-light
conditions?

Just a thought.
