Antigonon leptopus


Mexican Creeper, coral vine or San Miguelito Vine is native to Mexico. It is a vine with pink or white flowers (Antigonon leptopus 'alba' ).This is among my favourite flower. The bright pink flower is very attractive. Usually i grow fragrant flower but i made an exception for this creeper.  Stingless bees love its nectar and i love its uniqueness for this is the only flower where the flower bud appear at the tendrils.

Since i planned to keep a few beehives there is one more reason for me to grow this unique pink creepers.
