Dalechampia dioscoreifolia - Purple Wings Vine Flower

You've got one! Mine hasn't done so well in the last year. It was chomped on, stomped on and ripped to shreds in that time ... recovering now but I haven't seen any flowers in ages.

Oh wow, I like this very much Delonix!!! It will grow nice here as well I would think.

Bernieh:

Yes, I have one. :>)

Sorry to hear about all the damage to your vine! :>(

I'll have to be very careful with this vine...I've read it can be a very vigorous grower, taking over a large area (in S.California gardens) in a short period of time.

Alexandramou:

I know this vine has a tropical origin...however, don't know how hardy it it.

This is beautiful. looks like a Butterfly. ;o)

Lindalooloo:

I have a feeling this vine may develop a common name like: purple butterfly.

I can definately see why. Not sure if there is a Butterfly that colour. :o)

I'm sure somewhere in the world there's one. :>)

Yes, possibly there is. :o))

Stunning photo.

Thanks! It does bloom all year here in San Diego.

Thats fantastic not any plants I know bloom all year round.

There's several plants and trees which bloom almost all year here.

Thats great I dont think I could think of any that do that here.

I guess when you get into subtropical and tropical climates with the year-around growing season, it's more common to have trees, plants which bloom all year.

Yes I suppose it is Andy you are lucky really. ☺

We are very lucky here in San Diego. :>))

Defiantly ?
