Plant of the Day

Tuesday 14 February 2023

A vigorous vine from southern India Thunbergia mysorensis (Indian clock vine, Mysore trumpet vine, lady's slipper vine, brick and butter vine, rhubarb and custard vine) climbs through trees in the tropical montane forest where it is pollinated by sunbirds. Where it has naturalised in the Americas the nectar is a source of food for hummingbirds. The heads of visiting birds become dusted in pollen, which is transferred to other flowers.
