Garlic Vine - Mansoa alliacea


Garlic Vine - Mansoa alliacea

My garlic vine is flowering right now. It’s called garlic vine because the crushed leaves smell like garlic. Photo taken Aug. 27, 2020.

It’s native to Central and northern South America. This is a cutting from my friend’s big vine in the ground

They have some lovely plants over there . That was kind of your friend to give you a cutting sounds even better being a vine.

This is still a small plant. It’s only about 10 inches tall. My friend gave it to me last fall. It literally was pretty neglected in the back yard. LoL!

I am surprised the poor thing survived with such neglect cant wait to see it when grown fully.
