bmh Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thunbergia, they come in blue and pink and I just saw a beautiful one in a hotel in Chiapas that has flowers that look like lilies or orchids , they are red and yellow. The owner said he got his in Guatemala they were very different as far as the flowers go but the leaves were similar and we were told they were Thunbergia. Check thunbergia mysotensis for the red and yellow one. By the way the blue one is pretty invasive and I ended up taking it out fro one of our walls.

cedros Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 They are selling the yellow ones at the nursery south of Superlake. I've planted 3 and can't wait to see them flowering but it is too soon yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebford Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 The thumbergia mysorensis needs to be grown on something in which the flowers can hang down from. I have mine on a porch with curtain rods so it hangs beautifully. A raised horziontal trellis above a sitting area would also be very nice. Not as invasivie as the t. grandiflora, but it is strong grower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the thumbergia mysorensis...very exotic looking. http://i57.tinypic.com/2wom9z9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
