Purple Wings
Dalechampia dioscoreifolia, aka "Butterfly Vine", "Bow-Tie Vine".
This wild looking vine from Costa Rica is in the Euphorbia family (Euphorbiaceae) which means the purple petal-like structures surrounding the center of the flower are actually bracts. This vine is evergreen and can grow to 16-25 feet or as high as one gives it support.
The flowers of thie vine are shown here as the little pink part underneath the center ball.
Seen at a nursery in San Mateo, CA. recently.
I appreciate thoughtful and respectful comments. Please no mulitiple invites or glittery icons!! Thanks.
