It is hard not to be drawn to this scandent climber when you see the whole plant in bloom. It can be found in HortPark's Floral Walk and was also newly planted outside the Butterfly Garden. The orange flowers are lined along the entire branch and because of its unique structure, they are often called Chinese Hat Plant. Frequent heading back will result in a plant that seldom flowers, hence it is best to allow it to grow and branch freely and any pruning should only be done to encourage branching.
I saw the striking red flower variety at Nong Nooch Botanical Garden's Butterfly Hill though I still could not manage to get hold of any of it for propagation. Apparently there is also a yellow flower variety though I have not seen it myself.
