It's been raining a lot and the plants are thriving. I've discovered a new gem.
This rare ornamental collector Specimen vine has spectacular marble sized fruits. Also known as Marble Vine, Bryonia and
Diplocyclos palmatus
Tropical, slender, much-branched climber, perennial, with stems to 6 m
long. Leaves simple, alternate, 5 lobed, hairy above, pale and smooth
beneath, margins irregularly toothed.
Flowers white to yellowish, unisexual, male flowers in small fascicles
and females flowers solitary. It flowers from March to April. Fruit
green with white longitudinal stripes, which become brightly red to
orange with maturity.
