Saw an orangeish one in PNG but the pink is my fave. Yours might be the one known as 'Roaring Meg' after the waterfall where it's found.

Wow, haven't seen the orangeish flower, do they occur in Aust? I think your right about it being the roaring meg...

Yeah orangy-brown. not that flash. They are ralated to the "orange trumpet vine' by the way- the Bignoniaceae family.

Looked a bit like this but more orange than pink

Prolly just another unnamed species.

Here's a nice pic for you mate, If you want to have some fun with plants, go exploring in PNG. They're all related to the Australian stuff we know and love. I actually found a Pararastolochia vine that is seems to be a new species for sure, the goliath birdwing butterflies were using it as a host. I want to name that one.

Pretty awesome up there, except when people you know get slaughtered over petty tribal politics.
