Pretty Purple

Flowering Vines

Purple is not a color commonly found in nature, with the exception of flowers! I narrowed my many purple flower photos down to two flowering vines. Neither are native to the United States, but have been planted for their ornamental properties.

I wish I could upload the fragrant smell of the wisteria. A beautiful flowering vine in the legume family. Unfortunately, the blooms are short-lived and their vines are known to take over trees and other vegetation, if not kept under control.

The clockvine was photographed in an outdoor courtyard in Miami. Native to south Asia, it is not difficult to see why this striking flower was introduced to southern U.S. landscapes.
