This Black-Eyed-Susan Thunbergia loves to go visiting. It has travelled all the way from the wall in front of my house to a few feet away from the back wall to give this tradescantia a hug.

Aretes? Flower for FOTD, July 9, 2024

1 Reply

The plant identifier calls this a Clerodendrum × speciosum W.Bull, but Yolanda calls it an Aretes, which translates as an earring plant. I think she is confusing it with a bleeding heart, which is called an Aretes or Earring Plant in Mexico but is much fancier. So, for now, I still don’t know the common name of this beautiful vine!!! Can anyone help? I have searched so many times and don’t think it is really an Aretes. In another place, it is identified as a native of Sri Lanka but given no common name…On with the search. Okay..bingo! Finally found it identified as the Java Glory Vine or Red Bleeding Heart Vine. It isn’t as showy as what I’ve always knows as a bleeding heart, but I like it better..So, since bleeding hearts of the showier variety are known as aretes or earring plants, I guess I’ll judge Yolanda as correct and go on calling it that. Search over and identified unless proven wrong.

In Mexico, this is called an arete flower. In the States we called it a bleeding heart.

This is an entirely different jade plant than I have ever seen before and no relative, as it is not a succulent, but rather a vine that has these strangely-colored large plastic-looking turquoise-colored chandeliers hanging down from it. They are, however, a real flower!!! Sighted at the Garden of Dreams Boutique Hotel in Ajijic. I had a hard time capturing their true color with my camera, but they are a consistent opaque flat turquoise color. They were over a foot in length.

Virginia Creeper is named “creeper” appropriately. Here it is creeping down to take over the flower and succulent planter below, as wel as the tree behind it.

This little daisy-like vine seems to be creeping toward my wall. Perhaps by next year it will have crept up and over and into my garden.

Another Mystery Flower: FOTD, Oct 6, 2021

I have no idea what this little flower is. It is a bloom on a vine that covers my front wall, but it was here when I bought the house and I’ve never identified it.

And, for Sam, here is a photo of a flower from the same vine next to my fingernail. Didn’t have a penny!
