I'm needing a flowering climbing vine for the big trunk of my oak tree. it will only get filtered sun through the tree. I don't want anything that would hurt the tree. I've thought about wisteria, bougenvillea, Hoya macgillivrayi, and Clystoma binatum, but I have no idea.

Lace ferns will be planted around the tree so I want something for a nice contrast. Most of my yard is filled with different shades of purple. Any suggestions?
