Re: A flowering climber with loads of nectar...

I've got a very large Frementodendron in my garden with various climbers through it. It's a stunning plant in flower, but it has never attracted a butterfly + I get c 15 species visit my garden.

Honeysuckle would possibly the best for attracting insects + particularly moths at night. Ivy in early autumn is a magnet for insects, the flowers attracting bees, wasps, hoverflies (+other flies), moths + Red Admirals are very partial as are Commas.
