Beaumontia grandiflora
Family: Apocynaceae
Easter Lily Vine, Heralds Trumpet, Nepal Trumpet Flower
Origin: Himilayan tropics
vine or creeper full sun semi-shade regular water white/off-white flowers fragrant subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time incuded in CD catalog
One of the most impressive climbing plants which also grows well in subtropical climates. Woody vine with large fragrant white flowers resembling lilies, and lush tropical foliage. A strong growing climber which can reach 10' to 20' (3m to 6m) in full sun. Large, highly fragrant flowers appear in trusses particularly during the cool season in tropical climates. The leaves are glossy and dark green on the upper leaf surface, on the lower leaf surface they are hairy. Young shoots are also covered with brown hairs.
The Easter Lily Vine is considered to be a tropical plant, while some people say it is hardy to light frost. However, cold winter or lack of heat/light could be the reason why it doesn't want to bloom. Try to apply bloom-booster fertilizer during hot season (according to instructions, and do not over-fertilize!). Even here in subtropical Florida it is not easy to make it bloom. While in Thailand these plants are almost in every garden and bloom like crazy.
Another very close species with slightly smaller leaves - Beaumontia murtonii.

Name:Roger Ferguson Email:Rferguson1@aol.com Location:New Orleans, LA Homepage: Zone:9 19 Jul 2005, 1:36 AM	At least I think I am zone 9. I purchased an easter lily vine two seasons ago. The first season it grew just awesomely, reaching easily 10 to 12 feet. It came through our winter with only minimal frost damage. I did a very light trimming and off it went growing again this year. Some vines have easily reached 15 feet or more. The plant is doing just excellent in many respects: foliage is dark green and healthy, no visible pests, etc. I have it in a very sunny location and it is well watered and fertilized. Problem is that it has never bloomed or even set the first bud. I went out and bought special fertilize for tropicals and also fertilize for promotion of bloom production. Still the plant shows no signs of trying to bloom. It just continues to grow like crazy. I am wondering what the problem could be. Nobody around here seems familiar enough with the plant to give me any ideas. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated -- Roger in New Orleans, LA

Firstly, they get to be BIG vines so put them in a place where they can can rip :-) like a large pergola or up a chimney. Secondly, they need to get to a critical height (c. 15 feet) in order to bloom. When they bloom, they are a magnificent sight! Right in early to mid April in Central Florida. Thirdly, they are heavy feeders that seem to like rose food and Osmacote (tropical formulation) and they can take a reasonably hard pruning (but you will sacrifice a prolific flowering display).
Name:Randy Judd Email:jungle.heights@gmail.com Location:Houston, Tx Homepage:http://jungleheights.blogspot.com/ Zone:9a 26 Apr 2009, 8:08 PM	Having grown up in Tropical W. Africa, I suspected that the vine might be highly sensitive to the wet and dry seasons, with that in mind, planted the vine under the eve of the house in the front garden in order to maintain better control over watering. The vine prospered, and has climbed to the eve of the house where a trellis was stationed for it along the edge of the roof. Through the months of May through Nov, no water is given except by what it might get naturally and then is protected by the eve of the house. As I suspected the vine seemed very sensitive to applications of water at different times of the year. In Nov thru Jan the vine gets water regularly like the rest of the plants with superbloom applied at bi-weekly intervals. Fall and winter in my zone is very much like a dry season with very little water, and even during the months I increase watering attention should be given to signs of stress, as too much water could be a reason. Successful now with 4 seasons of wonderful blooms, I'm happy to say that this spring has also seen the success of the Beaumontia Murtonii that I bought from Tops 3 or more years ago. If anyone is familiar using the water deprivation technique used to get Solandra Maxima to bloom, the same techniques work on The Beamontia Grandiflora.
