Dalechampia dioscoraefolia, known as winged beauty from the two flattend crepe-like violet pink flower petals arranged like a wing…
blooming spring-summer-fall and a tropical vine making a lovely garden plant!
「紫翼藤」原產於哥斯逹尼加的常綠藤類。
Dalechampia aristolochiifolia (Purple Wings) – A fast growing vine in the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae) that has light green 5 inch long rough-textured heart-shaped leaves.
葉片心形。
Plant in full sun to medium shade and water moderately.
麥寶娘親把它種在大樹邊緣.早上全日照. 下午半日照..剛剛好很適合它.
One Year later, it grows so well.
Because it is in the euphorbia family, some people may be sensitive to the small hairs it presents on the leaves. All parts of the plant are poisonous. (1)
植株高15～20英呎，有毒。
The “blooms” have small yellow male and reddish brown female flowers in a structure called a pseudanthia.
When in full bloom, a multitude of fluorescent purple to lavender ‘flowers’ appear along the tendril-less vines, brightly waving in the sun.
花全開時..風兒輕輕吹.花兒像翅膀一樣拍動著..難怪取名為 “紫色的翅膀” !
Miloh’s sister cat visit and stay home for the summer, however, Miloh chase her a lot!
Lovely Neith
