PSEUDOGYNOXYS CHENOPODIOIDES

These photos of the Mexican Flame Vine were taken on 13 Jan 10 at the HortPark's Home Garden.

Previously known by its synonym Senecio confusus, this beautiful climber is one of my new favourites because I love the orange colour.

See how the flowers open in light orange, becoming turning a more crimson red as it ages. Unfortunately, the one I have at home still has not produced a single flower since I propagated it at least 6 months ago.
