Thunbergia Mysorensis


Clock Vine, Thunbergia mysorensis, Thunbergia Andreson x Bedd

A stunning flowering vine originating from India.
The bright yellow/maroon flowers were hanging in clusters from a pergola at a friend's garden. 



In the garden I tend to drop my thoughts here and there.  To the flowers I whisper the secrets I keep and the hopes I breath.  I know they are there to eavesdrop for the angels. ~ Dodinsky

Blue Trumpet Vine


Blue Trumpet Vine, Laurel Clock Vine (Thunbergia laurifolia

A popular ornamental vine in tropical gardens, Blue Trumpet Vine is a fast-growing perennial plant and can become invasive.  This plant flowers almost continuously throughout the year with flowers opening early in the morning and fading in the evening of the same day.  Flowers are not scented although bees are frequent visitors.    Rang jeud tea from Thailand comes from the leaves of  Blue Trumpet Vine.  It is said to detoxify the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes.


"The immortality of Flowers must enrich our own, and we certainly should resent a Redemption that excluded them..." ~ Emily Dickinson


In the open world
 the sun comes and finds your face,
Remembering all.

Thunbergia mysorensis, Clock Vine

Every flower about a house certifies to the refinement of somebody.
Every vine climbing and blossoming tells of love and joy.
