Thunbegia mysorensis - Clock Vine

It blooms well over here too, as long as it's under glass anyway!

I would guess it would bloom very well there under glass. This one of course, is growing outside. It's growing over some laths by the entrance to the reptile house.

I was thinking about using this vine on the top laths of my shade structure...then I thought about the millions of spiders it will attract.

Not to mention the constant pruning!!

Meanie:

Yes, that could be a big problem, as it grows so quickly!

I've seen (many times on my way to work) a very large fence covered with a brilliant purple Thunbergia. I've never seen this variety before (and it's not the common Thunbergia grandiflora, either). I must get a photo of this incredible T. alata? purple variety (which I can't even find on the internet).

I'll be looking!

I hope to get a pic soon! :>)
