[lace-chat] Mediteranean flowers

2004-09-28 Thread Ann McClean
DH & I have just returned from a week's holiday in Southern France.

We stayed in Laroque des Alberes, a village at the foot of the Chaine des 
Alberes mountain range which in turn is the eastern end of the Pyrenees.

Everywhere we went we saw a particular climbing flower - which I cannot 
find the name of!  The flower was a trumpet shape, about the size of 
bindweed, and an intense Mediteranean blue in colour.  
The leaves were trefoil shaped, about the size of sycamore.  
And it was the one subject I didn't take a picture of :(

At first I thought it was a clematis, but the flower construction and 
the leaves don't match - hence my request.

Can anyone help?  Have done an image search on Google, and plenty
of oleander and bourgainvillea which we also saw lots of, but not this
particular one.
