Floridian, what a gorgeous photo of this vine!!! I have a Battescombi...although this clock vine sure resembles that one!!! how big is yours now??? Elaine
Thanks 1601! This was taken at the botanical gardens and it's easily 20 feet up into the trees and cascading back down. There was a lovely white one nearby but I couldn't get a decent picture of the only bloom.
Floridian, that's very pretty. My plant also bloomed for the first time last month, but the blue was a diluted shade. Mine is about 8 ft. long now growing over a trellis over the wall.
Sure like the photos of the Bengal Clock Vine. Reading the hyperlink I guess it is quite tender. I would be happy to have and treat like an annual, but didn't sound like it grows from seeds. Wish I knew if seeds were available anywhere. Donna
This is such a photogenic flower. I love seeing it bloom at the botanical gardens. We always leave the perimeter fences as the last thing we look at while we're there. Coral vine, Mexican Flame Vine (Senecio confusus), all sorts of Passifloras, Aristolochia. It's just beautiful most of the year.
Floridian-I'm thinking I may plant "sky vine" on a brick lattice wall. Has 1-2 hours of sun (early morning) then shade from roof overhang. Wall is 8 feet long and 5-6 feet tall. How far apart should I plant???
I' m also a Floridian!!!!!
