Yes, the photos can't do it justice. It's breath-taking when viewed in person. I just fell in love with this vine.

I'm so happy I'm going to be getting some cuttings very soon! :>))

Glad you're getting your cutting...then you can post more pics of this so we can enjoy.

I found out this vine is native to eastern tropical Africa. I read it can grow 3ft/1m a day...which is pretty amazing!
My GoY friend said it has grown considerably in just a few months. The leaves are beautiful heart-shaped and velvet-like.

Thanks! I told you I was going to be adding some very interesting plants.

You did, and my bib is well and truly covered by my dribbling!

Alexandramou:

Yes, when I get some cuttings I can get a lot more photos of this spectacular, gorgeous flowering vine.

Meanie:

Yes, I did say you would be salivating! LOL! :>)

Palmate:

Thanks! This GoY member's garden is spectacular! It's the cleanest and most manicured garden I've ever seen...and full of exotic, tropical plants.

Anyone who sees this flowering vine definitely wants it. When I originally saw it out of bloom, I wanted one. :>)

Is it that flower which beautiful women from Hawai put around E.Presley´s neck?

Katarina:

No, you're thinking of Plumeria flowers.

Here's some of the many Plumeria trees with flowers growing here in San Diego.

:) Must be beautiful.

Katarina:

Yes, they're beautiful! Here in San Diego Plumeria trees are widely grown. However, in Hawaii, virtually every yard has a large Plumeria tree and they grow even larger there in the tropics.

:) I am not surprised Christopher Columbus thought they landed in paradise :)

16 Jan, 2012

 

Well, Christopher Columbus landed in the Caribbean. I'm sure he though it was paradise in that hot humid tropical climate.

:) And who did discover Hawai islands?

Captain Cook. Unless you take in the Polynesians 1,000 years earlier.
I go with the bird life 1 million years ago. Kidding!

I might try that vine.. I do have a place where I would like to see it cover.. a plastic lattice that is u-g-l-y.

It would be interesting if it would grow up in the SF Bay Area. I know it's tender...not sure how tender, though. Also, remember it blooms in winter.

22 Aug, 2016

 

Only blooms in winter? I really didn't know that.

22 Aug, 2016

 

Supposedly, it's a winter to early spring bloomer.
