August 1st, 2013: Red Jade Vine (Mucuna bennetti) by pongsak
I've never seen the red version of this flower. I know the blue grows like crazy in HI.
Quite a stunning plant.
I so want to see this one in real life too! Can you imagine if planted with the turquoise one and them flowering side by side. Color explosion! LOL
