How these little black-eyed thunbergia made it from the front yard to this patch of bougainvillea in an island in the middle of my backyard, I’ll never know, but here they are visiting and making themselves at home.
You must see Cee’s beautiful purple clematis.
See Cee’s unusual flower photo Here.
I was late to the awards luncheon because I had to stop and take these photos of the wild tangle of tiny orange thunbergia winding around the bird of paradise plant. Please, Pasiano, don’t trim them away. I love the jungle look. These ladies help to create it.

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.

Just try to convince me that this thunbergia isn’t sky blue! The first photo is of a thunbergia flower on the vine near my studio. The second is a mistake shot I took of the sky seconds later. I was amazed at how the colors matched!
Cee gave me her approval to post one more posting of thunbergias. Close-ups this time. Then I promise not to show any more for a very long time.
(Click on first photo to enlarge both.)
These are my two favorite shots ot the day, although I have others you might see in the far future!
For Cee’s Flower of the Day prompt.
As I explained yesterday, I planted one little thunbergia vine to the far right of this photo a few years ago. Now where are they? (Click on first photo to enlarge and read captions.)
Somehow, they’ve jumped both the wall and the sidewalk and are twining around just about everything. All of these fellows are on far left of the first photo, and on the other side of the sidewalk from the original location of the vine
As Cee goes obsessive regarding poinsettias, I’m using it as an excuse to obsess over thunbergia.
