If you find there is some resemblance between this Alamo Vine flower and the Morning Glory flower, it is because the two flowers share the same family. Also known as Noyau Vine or Correhuela De Las Doce, the Alamo Vine is a Convolvulaceae flower, the same family as a Morning Glory flower, according to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. This perennial and deciduous vine grows to about 8-10 feet (2.5-3.0 meters) and blooms from May to November.
I made these photos in early June 2021 during one of my walks at the Copperfield Nature Trail. After some light rain, this was an excellent time to try and capture these flowers with some water drops. The beautiful burgundy center provides a great contrast with the flower’s white petals. This flower attracts butterflies, but the Wildflower Center warns that it may grow aggressively in a home garden.
This post is in honor of Cee and Becky B to recognize their contributions to the WP Blogosphere. The call to post came from Rebecca (of Fake Flamenco).
