Beaumontia grandiflora - Herald's Trumpet
Beaumontia is an outstanding scrambling shrub or climbing plant for larger gardens. It has beautiful large white flowers and large deep green leaves with prominent veins. Naive to the Himalayas, it is happiest in warmer climates, but will tolerate some short lived light frosts in temperate climates. If pruned after flowering, this plant makes a nice shrub, or it can be trained over a trellis or other support. Make sure the plant is held by a sturdy structure because it grows large and heavy....plants can grow to 10 metres tall. Provide a sunny position ( or semi-shade ) and a well-drained soil and you will be rewarded with a great display of flowers in Summer, and also late winter to spring if in the right position. You can cut some flowers for inside and the strong seductive perfume will fill the room. The plant is quite useful, having some medicinal uses and a strong fiber is obtained from the young twigs. I took these photos in North Sydney, where the plant was trained over the entrance to a residential garage.
One of the most impressive climbing plants which also grows well in subtropical climates. A vigorous evergreen climber that can reach over 20 ft tall and as wide if a strong support is available. Very large leaves can reach 9 inches long and are a glossy green color with prominent veins and new growth has attractive brownish hairs. In late spring to early fall appear the terminal clusters of large (3-6 inch long by 4 inches wide) fragrant white flowers that are trumpet-shaped and resemble an Easter Lily.
Plant in full sun or light shade preferably in a rich soil and provide ample water. It is hardy to 28 degrees F and in cold years can be semi-deciduous. It dislikes heavy wet soil in winter. If pruning is required, as it often is because this plant can get rather large, do so just after flowering to promote new flowering wood for the following year.

Silly Sausage Award !! Very nice Pics, although i'm not sure that the last Pic is Beaumontia, it may be Mandevilla.

Fav. comment Award !! Nice choice of pics and information.
Rampant vine with arching, twining branches; climbs as high as 30 feet and spreads just as wide. Large (6- to 9 inches.), oval to roundish dark green leaves, smooth and shiny above, slightly downy beneath, give lush tropical look. From spring through summer, bears fragrant, trumpet-shaped, 5 inches-long, green-veined white blossoms that look like Easter lilies (Lilium longiflorum).
Does best in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter; regular feeding produces most lavish display of foliage and flowers. Prune after bloom to shape or limit size; flowers are produced on wood 2 years old or older, so keep a good proportion of old wood.
Hardy to 28F. Frost kills the vine to the ground, but it usually comes back from the roots. Use as big espalier on warm, wind-sheltered wall or train along eaves of house; sturdy supports are essential, since growth is heavy. Good choice for planting near swimming pools.

Fav.comment Award !! Very nice choice of Pics, thanks.
Pictures cannot even begin to describe the sight of a mature Beaumontia in full bloom. A big plant can be covered with many large flowers.
Beaumontia does need mature to bloom,
it may take a couple of years before you see the flowers. To produce the best display, this heavy climber with large leaves will need a strong structure.
Without support the plant will form
a large mound. It can be grown in pots but will not get very big or produce many flowers like the ones grown in the ground.
Beaumontia is a tropical vine. It can tolerate a light frost for short periods but it is better to protect it if the temperature goes bellow freezing.

Lovely !
Beaumontia grandiflora, commonly called Herald s Trumpet or the Easter Lily Vine. It is native of the Himalayas. This beautiful vine can reach 10 to 30 feet tall but much more sideways. It makes nice cut flowers that can last for a long time.
Magnificent white flowers appear from spring to fall. The trumpet-like flowers measure from 4 to 6 inches wide. They are composed of a unique petal and each have a pale yellow stamen in their middle. The flowers have a light sweet smell.
Beaumontia is a climbing vine that can be very vigorous. The foliage is semi-evergreen. The leaves are glossy green on the upper surface and dark green and hairy underneath. They measure more than 8 inches long. The woody trunk and branches act like wires to enable the plant to grow in height. The plant produces oblong green fruits from the end of summer to fall. After the blooming season, the plant loses its leaves

Great Pics, thanks !
An interesting rare perfumed plant is Herald’s Trumpet (Beaumontia grandiflora) which has wonderful large white flowers with a sweet tropical perfume. It is a vigorous woody climber which is native to the region from India to Vietnam and belongs to the same plant family (Apocynaceae) as Oleanders, Frangipanis and Mandevillas which typically bleed a white milky sap from cut stems.
Common name: Herald’s Trumpet
Botanic name: Beaumontia grandiflora
Climate: Will grow best in the warmer zones of Australia, north of Coffs Harbour, NSW. It prefers sub-tropical and tropical conditions to thrive and can look miserable in areas where temperatures fall below 10

Beaumontia grandiflora is a magnificent scrambling plant native to Subtropical India. It has large evergreen leaves and large, white, fragrant, trumpet – shaped flowers which can bend down the branches with their weight!
As Beaumontia can attain up to 5m or more in height, it is definitely not suitable as a house plant and is only suitable for the largest of conservatories or glasshouse. Beaumontia is named after the Beaumont’s family who lived at Bretton Hall, Yorkshire.
Come and see ours in flower now in the Subtropical House.
