Trunnels, thanks for your post. That's a pretty picture! I can relate to your struggles with the Ipomoea indica. I'm all for a good grower, but that was too much to handle!

I'm not sure about which vines would do well in your area, but I just purchased a Thunbergia Battiscombei, which has lovely blue flowers also, but it is hardy to Zone 10 so you would have to bring it inside for the winter. Logee's has it at http://www.logees.com/store/ I am also partial to Passifloras, but most of them will probably be an annual in your area if you get frost, but you could grow them in containers and bring them inside as well. The same is true of Madagascar Jasmine, Stephanotis floribunda. I love wisterias too, which would probably do really well in your area, but they are somewhat high-maintenance also because you have to prune after flowering.

Bignonia capreolata, Crossvine, is hardy Zone 6 and higher, and Logee's has that one too. Here's mine which flowered when fairly small:
