Bower vine (Trompetbloem)

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid,, Bower vine (slightly cut)

 

Here in Holand, we call this 'trompletbloem' (Pandorea jasminoides). Behind it the plane trees of our dike. "It is a woody climber with pinnate leaves that have three to nine egg-shaped leaflets, and white or pink trumpet-shaped flowers that are red and hairy inside." Source Wiki.

We imported this one from the Sotavento some 8 years ago and it's going strong. Ah, the changing climate...

A Bower vine flower is here.

 

This is number 92 of Adventures in chaos.
