Dalechampia aristolochiifolia - Purple Wings

Love it! I had one, first in the ground which it hated, and then in a pot, but a particularly severe monsoonal wet season was one challenge too many for the poor thing.

This one has been growing on my shade structure in the front yard since 2010. It never stops growing! Ugh! But, I do love the flowers!

I’m surprised it didn’t do well there. I know it’s native to the tropical rainforest of Central America. Although, my plant doesn’t get any water, except for when we receive rain.
