Love these orange Flame Vine, (Pyrostegia venusta), in Portuguese known as "Flor-de-São João". These orange flowers, considered invasive, is a woody climber that climbs with its tendrils. Popularly known as Fleur-de-Saint-John and Cipo-de-Saint-John, almost all native to Brazil, is found in roadsides, ravines and fences. They begins to bloom in May and runs until September, varying in each state of Brazil. It has medicinal properties and toxic.
Como são lindas estas flores alaranjadas! Considerada uma planta invasiva, a Flor-de-São-João ou Cipó-de-São-João (Pyrostegia venusta), é uma trepadeira lenhosa, nativa em quase todo Brasil, encontrada em beira de estradas, barrancos e cercas. O nome vem do seu uso em festividades juninas de São João. Ela começa a florescer em maio e vai até o mês de setembro, variando em cada estado do Brasil. Possui propriedades medicinais e tóxicas.
São flores lindas,adorei ver aqui! beijos,ótima semana! chica
ReplyDeleteToo bad they are invasive because they produce such a splash of color!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me a little bit of honeysuckles in Arizona but they are not invasive, just they share the same orange color.
I don't think we have these flowers in Florida. They're very beautiful - such deep, rich colors! They could invade my yard anytime! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL Flower, my dear.....LOVE THEM!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a vibrant, bright plant. I'm always amazed at your tropical foliage - ours grows so slowly here.
ReplyDeleteSuch a vivid orange! Do they have a particular fragrance?

ReplyDeleteYes, we have some plants that are categorized as invasive, but are quite lovely. And perhaps with climate change, actually belong here.
ReplyDeleteContinua maravilhoso isso aqui.

I'm a fan of orange flowers. Maybe we have this plant growing here in Los Angeles. A kind of orange Trumpet Fine. The invasive plant I once had that was beautiful but a misery was a pale lilac Moon Flower. It to was poisonous.
ReplyDeleteInvasive plants kill off other plants and take over everything. But all a plant knows how to do is grow, and invasive plants are only growing in the best conditions for them.
ReplyDeleteHere again, your photographs are a beautiful window into your part of the world. Not the first time I've enjoyed the richness of color.
ReplyDeletethese look familiar. they are very beautiful. not many flowers are orange so this is rare.

These vines are so vibrant- they look happy. When we came back from our trip just a couple of days ago we drove on a highway were there were thousands of pink wild flowers – I need to go back during day time to take a picture. Thanks for coming to my blog while I was away – more than a month, so now I am way behind reading blogs.
ReplyDeleteÉ uma trepadeira muito vistosa e a cor laranja é muito penetrante! Tenho uma parecida no meu jardim.
ReplyDeleteUm beijinho
O mais lindo nela é a cor e não lembro de ter visto com o botão aberto_ devem abrir não é?
