Thunbergia mysorensis (Thunbergia mysorensis)

No visit to the botanic gardens would be complete without a photo of the seemingly ever blooming Clock Vine.

You can see the pain that my visits cause me!!!!

must be a place you could squeeze it in, it's only around 5-6 mtrs tall :-)

Along with the Bomerea, Lapergaria et al!!

Never mind, you can hide in your new building or be drawing up the plans!? Rowing won't be so far from you will it? Very near to my sister but she didn't get any tickets!

It's not that I dislike sport, the opposite in fact. But the non stop hype............

I loved athletics at school, I'm hoping to win a ticket to go and see something!
I see your point!

Kew has this plant growing in the Princess of Wales Conservatory.It is a real crowd pleaser.

That I understand - does it bloom for "ever" there too?

Meanie:

This vine blooms all year here in San Diego...like all the other Thunbergia species/varieties.

I am genuinely tempted to try and track one down for the conservatory.

Meanie:

It grows very fast. It only looks good when it has lattice to hand down from (my opinion). This is how it's commonly grown here.

I was temped to get one for my shade structure's lattice roof...but I think it would be too much upkeep. I have a feeling I'd have millions of spider living in it (more than I have, already).

It looks fantastic when it's hanging!

It sure does. :>)
