Climber ID'd by Miriam as Senna gaudichaudii

Sorry that these photos are not as clear as they could be. They were taken just as dusk was turning to night. Climber growing up a wall and then into the tree above - about 20 ft high. Seen in a Rome street 10 days ago. By coincidence I saw another specimen growing out of a wall today just outside the Rome Rose Garden but didn't have a camera with me to take a photo. Most of the flowers had died back.

I have a small garden in Rome, Italy. Some open soil, some concrete, some paved. Temperatures in winter occasionally down to 0°C. Summer temperatures up to 40°C in the shade. There are never watering restrictions but, of course, there is little natural water for much of June, July and August.
