Hi there everyone! :)

I was at the Denver Botanical Gardens and snapped this photo. I would really love to know what it is. I forgot to take a photo of the plant tag that accompanied it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Maybe a species of Petrea. Petrea volubilis or other species?

Justin, thank you SO much! This is exactly it. I did a search on the garden's website and found the exact match!

Sandpaper Vine; Sandpaper; Queen's Wreath; Purple Wreath

Hurray!

Thank you again for your help on this. I am happy I can put a name with the image.

Wishing you the very best!

I confirm that. We have loads of these here in Southwest Florida, we call it the 'Tropical Wisteria'.

It was in the tropical conservatory at Denver Botanical Gardens. Smiling I wish I could grow this in my garden. Well, I could perhaps if I took it inside when winter arrived.
