Why is this flower called a “copa de oro” even when it is purple instead of gold? Perhaps because of that deep heart that glows like a burning cauldron of gold at its center.  These vines have grown to cover my jade plant and my studio.  They seem in the one photo to be growing higher than the massive palms.  Perhaps they are seeking to grow up to the sun that they imitate at their heart of hearts.
