I have always loved the bataani creeper too! Must get one for my little garden. Thanks for finding the common and scientific names.
I am happy to know that you like the bataani creeper. There are two more plants which I am nostalgic about. One with small pale violet coloured flowers which turn into bright yellow berries. It connects me to my school days although I do not have any fascination for it. But the one which allures me date is a wild creeper with pale lavender coloured tubular flowers. The petals are little leathery, rather spongy. Keep guessing!
Sugunasree, if you like the outdoors, you must come with me on the rock walk. See my posts in my blog.
