Cup of gold vine, also known as Hawaiian lily

Cup of gold vine is a robust evergreen liana characterized by a lavish expanse, potentially reaching over 20 feet (6 meters) in height with a 40 feet (12 meters) spread. This plant features thick, elliptical leaves up to 8 inches (20 centimeters) long, supported by sturdy stems. Its most striking feature is the gargantuan golden trumpet-shaped flowers, which span 8 to 10 inches (20 to 25 centimeters) across, adorned with distinctive brown stripes on the interior. The flowers emit a fragrance reminiscent of banana or vanilla, intensifying at dusk. Foliage may display frost damage when temperatures fall below 32°F (0°C), but it generally endures down to about 28°F (-2°C).
