Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ These tiny flowers are just beginning to open at the beginnning of Autumn on the Mornington Peninsula.
They open in swirls and seem to grow in tiered clusters on my archway vine.
I have no idea what they are.

Like swirls of lilac
Subtle arcs of gentle white
Sweet unknown beauty

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Snail creeper?
Looks like it is in the Pea family (Fabaceae). It is a very cool looking flower.
Whatever it is, great photos.
They had nice colours, whatever they are.
A funny shape on the flower, and I have no idea what it is! But beautiful they are, indeed!
Delicate little gems that speak of Spring! Lovely!! Have a wonderful
day filled with color!
These flowers are very pretty. Such lovely colors.
I just love the different colours, lovely flower what ever it is.

The very delicate looking and beautiful flowers on this creeper are called Phaseoulus caracalla, or simply called Snail flower. They are from tropical America. The plant is related to the scarlet runner bean!
Snail flower. A fitting name in some sense. Really exquisite flowers. How beautifully the lilac colour changes into pure white.
Lovely flowers! Snail flower, eh? Makes snese they are relatives of scarlet runners - the leaf and flower shapes are similar.
