What's Blooming Now - Coral Vine 09/17/2011

Coral Vine is so pretty. The flowers remind me of a wedding. Coral Vine is a fall bloomer. There is also a hot pink flowered variety. This vine is really drought tolerant. The roots have very thick tuberous roots. The roots resemble potatoes. The fleshy tubers help it to survive long periods of drought. Bees of many varieties are attracted to the flowers. This vine is covered with bees which makes it a little intimidating to duck under right now.
