I'm quite certain that many people would call this flower a weed. Not being sure of the identify of this plant, I'll have agree with A.A. Milne when he stated, "Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them."
Petrea volubilis, commonly known as queen's wreath or purple wreath, is an evergreen flowering vine native to Tropical Americ.
It is found especially on the banks of rivers and streams, from northern Mexico to Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay in the Antilles and in Venezuela. Depending on the climate, it can have up to two bloommings in the year and is very attractive for butterflies.
It is a very flowery and ornamental vine, often used to cover pergolas, canvases, railings or even leaning on walls.
As a climbing plant, it grows to a height of 12 meters, but as a shrub it grows to 4 meters tall and the flowers emerge from bracts.
The flowers form in large clusters, more than 30 cm in length, and may have a purplish-blue color (most common) or even a variety with white flowers. It prefers cultivation in full sun, but tolerates and develops satisfactorily in half shade.
In Brazil receive the name of Flor de São Miguel ( Saint Michael flower).
You have to work to keep love alive; you have to protect it and maintain it, just like you would a delicate flower.

I never tire of seeing Chickadees. They are such delicate and tiny creatures but are often bold enough to take sunflower seeds right out of your hand. They're also challenging to photograph as they don't sit still for long. This one was checking out some seeds strewn along a trail in a Provincial Park.

I went for a wander around the neighbourhood with my new camera today. I am blown away by the clarity of the 50D. I know everyone says that it is the person behind the camera, but having good gear certainly helps in my opinion. These are all SOOC only resized in Photoshop.
