Pushy and messy, these thunbergia vines are nonetheless my favorites. They rival kudzu in their push to cover the world.  I had to stop and click a fast photo of these vines on a neighbor’s wall.

Purple Heart: Flower of the Day, Sep 1, 2017


This tradescantia vine, also known as Wandering Jew or Purple Heart, is one of my favorites.

The Spanish name for the hibiscus is “obelisco.”  Why this is, I do not know, unless it is because of the long stamen which is remotely obelisk-shaped. jdbphoto
