Description

This flower, with its trailing vines of flowers in purple or lavender, is so beautiful that I included them in one of my novels. The Thunbergia is a tropical flower. This image is presented in square format for my Square gallery.

Any color or hybrid flowers of the Thunbergia is from the genus of woody or twining vines, is a native of the tropics. They have opposing leaves with large showy flowers that have beak-like centers. These are a climbing vine, great for fences and garden walls, especially if you have any ugly fence along your property. The large green leaves and Thunbergia hanging in trails one after another makes a great show.

These Thunbergia are related to the Thunbergia alata, which is the Black Eyed Susan. They are of the acanthus family, native of Africa and southern Asia.
