VINE FLOWERS IN THE WILD

I really love flowers. And whenever I go, when I see flowers, I would grab my phone eagerly to take pictures of them. They all look gorgeous in their own way. They might differ in size, colors, and texture but they bloom in amazing elegance.

So before I delete some of these pictures that are taking up a great amount of storage on my phone, I'd want to share some of them with you here so you may appreciate their attractiveness. I divided them into categories because I had accumulated a large collection of flower images over the years. And for now, I would like to show you some vine flowers I found in the wild.

CORAL VINE

I love this cute little flower of Coral Vine (Botanical Name: Antigonon Leptopus). It has an attractive pink color that I like most and it could be a nice add to a fresh flower bouquet.

We found this vine that had grown beside a rough road near in our home going to the shore and I was really thinking that it could be a nice attraction on our backyard.

GARLIC VINE

I took this picture when we went to Isla Gigante, along the way to Parola and I was amazed by its beauty. It's really captivating. Its flowers is big when fully bloom and the color becomes lighter compare to the unfully bloom flowers. It's called Garlic vine or Mansoa alliacea.

I wanted to pick them at that time but I thought that they will just wither along the way, so I was contented with taking pictures. Plus I don't want to be selfish and keep its beauty for myself until it died. Maybe next time, I could get some cuttings to plant in the backyard.

These pretty white flowers is called Stinking Passion Flower (Botanical Name: Passiflora foetida). This vine was considered invasive and poisonous to humans as what I had learned from this site, but I remember when we were kids, we used to eat its small yellow-orange ripe fruit because my parents did also. (I was really eating some dangerous food here when I was young. From jellyfish to this fruit. Good thing I was still alive until now, lol.)

Moonflower plant (Ipomoea alba) has an all white colored flower. Another common type of morning glory. And is growing along the road with bayhops. I love how it looks in here as it captured the morning dew.
