Very nice! I've never heard of it! Must check it out. Do you know the Latin name?

If I do I will remember you *S*

cool plant new to me. wow

Yes, I had to look this one up too! Quite an unusual plant.
Where did you get it?

Doris-
The world is a bit skewed sometimes! Last night when my friend from zone9tropicals came over for our weekly glass of wine and plant chat, I asked him what this strange vine that had come up in the same pot of another plant he had given me. I nearly fell off my chair when he said it was a parachute plant.
I mean what are the chances, that I've never heard of the vine, then find out the same day the i.d. of the same plant in my garden! I think it's been around for about a year now and I'm just now getting around to asking what it was.
I thought it was an unusual vine so I've twined it around some garden art.


I'm still shaking my head!

it sits on top of the cage...seems like slow grower

Yes it is a very slow grower, mine now have about 6 baby "parachutes" on it along with the larger one.
