An evergreen, tendril-bearing woody vine (Bignonia capreolata) native chiefly to the southeast United States and having showy red-orange, trumpet-shaped flowers. Also called cross vine.
Cross vine can spread aggressively. This plant may become weedy or invasive in some regions or habitats and may displace desirable vegetation if not properly managed.
Native Americans used cross vine as a remedy for numerous health ailments. An infusion of leaves was used to purify blood. Decoctions of leaves were used for rheumatism. Decoctions of mashed bark were used to alleviate edema and headaches. Individuals with diphtheria gargled a mashed root infusion.

I'd check your spelling. If it's a bigonia it's a flowering plant you can grow indoors or out. They have scented leaves,and little bouquets of flowers pink, red , white.
