Flowers from Spain

I used to live in Spain and they had some beautiful flowers, purple in colour, overhanging balconies etc. I used to see a lot of them all over. Does anyone know their name or if I can grow them in the UK South West. Thanks Amanda Was it a blue-purple perennial climber like morning glory? Then it's Ipomoea learii, now called I. indica. In the South West? I've never seen it there, but I certainly think it should be tried. It did survive on my south wall for several years - and I'm in Belgium, near Antwerp, much colder. It's available here and in the UK in some specialised nurseries. If you can't get it - it comes up very easily from cuttings, bring some over from Spain next time.
