The Devil's Potato winds and twists its way up trees and utility poles and has showy pinwheel shaped white flowers
On the way back from the sports centre behind the Graceway IGA, I spotted a flash of white. I told Barry I was going to run down the road and grab a picture or two. Well an hour and a half later I had a whole bunch of photos of some of the wild flowers blooming along Turtle Tail Drive (Venetian Road) by our villas. I had neighbours stopping to see what I was photographing too. The beautiful island bush is alive right now with a wonderful selection of vines and flowers.
- Passionflowers are blooming and you can spot them easily while driving along the roads.
Another white flowering vine is the Cynanchum and there are at least three endemic species. These are so pretty with clusters of tiny white, star shaped flowers. You have to look closely but once you spot them, they are found all over.
Clusters of tiny stars..........the Cynanchum has a sweet fragrance.
Here's another Cynanchum and this one has furry flowers also star shaped.
The lavender blue pea flowers of the Butterfly Pea were blooming in profusion.
- The wild alamanda stands out with its’ brilliant yellow showy flowers.
There’s more to come and I’ll leave them for my next post. Keep an eye out for these beautiful wild flowers and vines.
