Anyone know what this vine is? Very tiny toothed leaves and tiny little reddish-pink (or pinkish-red?? Blinking ) trumpet shaped flowers with a paler throat. This is growing at the Houston Zoo, hanging down over a tall "rock" wall. It was hanging down maybe about 6 feet in total length in full sun. Not clinging in any way and doesn't appear to have the ability to cling - just hang or drape. Stems are very straight and slightly stiff. Stems were also somewhat more angular than rounded.

Thanks!

Looks a little like Firecracker plant except with more leaves - Russelia equisetiformis

Thanks. It does look much like some type of russelia, but there was no arch to the stems at all - they just hung straight down all neat and tidy - two words that would never be used to describe Russelia equisetiformis! nodding

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much info out there on more than just a few Rusellia types - none of which fit this plant. This gives me some direction, though!
