    It does look like what we call clematis in VA and they take over your yard, come back bigger and more invasive every year.

    When I worked at a nearby large greenhouse ..this plant with not-shiney leaves was called a mandevilla. The shiney leafed one were dipladenias. Either way I'm sure they're very closely related.

    It is a Mandevilla.
    Some times they come back
    but most times NOT.
    They also come in yellow.

    It is a MANDAVILLA I don't know its Latin name I have one in the dining room/plant room I finally bought the 8 inch pot on sale at the end of season 2yrs ago it still set me back $20 I bring it in for winter and she's about 5 ft tall now the blooms are big and beautiful and a scent is from Heaven The first time I saw them was outside Atlanta,Georgia as a privacy fence I water it when the dirt is dry down to the depth of 2 inches our winters in ohio are to severe to leave it outside so I just change her into a bigger pot to prevent her getting pot bound

    I'm not sure, but I agree with you all, it looks like Mandevilla to me too. It is so beautiful.

    That is a Mandevilla. I have one just like it and same color. It loves sun and water but not drowning. It will grow to 8 feet tall. Good luck with it. They are such beautiful plants!!!!! I wintered mine over by a window with a lot of light and in a room which was a steady 65 degrees. Only watered it once a week and not too soaking.

    Could be a hybrid bougainvilla, although I've never seen one with such big leaves, but most definitely not trumpet vine. It does look tropical, doesn't it?

    Go here and post a question to the Plant Master with a picture.
