Strongylodon macrobotrys (common names: Blue jade vine)

Hello all, I have been looking this plant up and see it comes from the Philippines. It is not really hot here, but it is thriving like mad. I have at least 50 of those long trails with flowers haning down at the moment, almost their second lot coming out. They are extremely strong and I cannot pull them off when finished flowering, have to get secateurs. Birds, large and small feed hanging upside down so their little beaks feed straight into the curled up petals. Amazing to see. Thanks for looking at my pics.

This is truly unique! You are keeping me enthralled with your photos!

Oh man...!, You're killing me here...lol, this is my second favorite vine ! I 'd love to be able to grow this beauty too, great close-up shot ! Isn't here another tropical vine that looks very similar to this one, it's just a different color , like maybe red or orange ?

The Jade Vine in CUBG is in a humid hothouse. Apparently this plant is no longer found in its native area due to deforestation.

That sounds great. I wonder how they keep it alive there, or is it in an enclosed environment perhaps? Indeed, the common name is Jade Vine.

Very interesting.

Welcome Marguerite, I have seen a Jade Vine in Cambridge University Botanical Garden - a stunning plant.
