TETRACERA INDICA

I love this native Tetracera climber for a very long time. Not only the flowers are pretty with white petals, numerous pinkish white stamens with yellowish anthers, the slightly toothed new leaf flushes are also reddish-orange and the tri-carpellate fruits are red!

It can apparently grow up to more than 4 m tall if it has something to climb onto.

Maybe it can be promoted as a chinese new year plant next year.
