Bow Tie Vine from Dee

Isn't it a beauty? This is the second flush of blooms it's had this summer. It just keeps growing and growing. Thanks Dee.

Wow that's really pretty I have never seen that one before.Will it go to the jungle house this winter Cala?

I've never heard of it. Nice bloom. Is it a tall or short vine? I like the color.

It is called Dalechampia descorifloria. It is not a short vine but does not seem to get out of hand either.

It will go into the Jungle House and of course I'm experimenting with cuttings.

Remember Susie, this can't take any cold, it is a zone 10 I think. I know that even here it won't survive outside in the winter.

Now this is really interesting with its bow shaped flower. Very nice indeed.

That's gorgeous...it isn't in the PDB!

i think it's euphorbia family

Wow, Logee's catalog says those blooms will reach 5 inches in width. That would have to be beautiful to look at.

Wow, I have to have one. I have got to get Logee`s catalog.

I might be talked out of a teeny rooted cutting I have.

I like that one!

I would love to put that on the copper trellis my husband and I just built. Do you have any seeds to trade? I am drying Purple Orchid tree seeds for another trade but have enough for two trades. Also Sea Hibiscus seeds.

Calalily-
If you are still able to be talked out of your rooted cutting, I'd like to do some talking! lol...

I've got lots of different vines, and a few not mentioned on there. I do have some tweedia caerulea, and some fejoia(pineapple guava seedlings, too).

Sorry guys, I got rid of the whole plant. I couldn't even touch the leaves without a severe allergic reaction and I was afraid to keep it. The rash it made was horrible and itched 10 times worse than poison ivy.

Sorry to hear it affected you like that! Poison ivy is HORRIBLE, can't imagine something WORSE!
YUK!

Calalily,
I am so sorry to hear that, but VERY glad you posted it, because I have one that just recently sprouted. I will be extra careful!
