Here's a lovely star-shaped flower. The Star Glory or Cypress Vine (Ipomoea quamoclit) is a species of Morning Glory native to South America. This is a long vining plant which can reach a height of 6 metres if grown under ideal conditions! It produces red star-shaped flowers about the size of a 10-cent coin in the typical morning glory trumpet shape.
Then there's this bunch of flowers that the bees love hovering over. The Antigonon leptopus, commonly called "Cadena de Amor" (Chain of Love) in Latin America and The Philippines and "Mexican Creeper", ''Coral Vine", "Honolulu Creeper " and "San Miguelito Vine" elsewhere, also have a name "Tears of the bride".
It is a pink flowered vine in the buckwheat family, originally native to Mexico but is now found everywhere in the Tropics.
