Black-Eyed Susan Vine 'African Sunset (aka Blushing Susie)'
Thunbergia alata

All of the flowers so far on my vine are this same color. Haven't seen the variety in shades.

Hi langbr,
I was going to order it's seed in this spring though, I quit because of the price. Now I'm regretting it to see your picture:)
Very beautiful and nice colour combination with coleus! I must plant it in next summer!

I grew this one from seed and what a beauty! And for the first time, Thunbergia Grandiflora "Blue Skies" is looking good! But, for falling down and begging, the coccinea is mighty pretty...seeds..seeds.......seeds, please! Elaine

Thanks all.....sorry for my lack of response I was out of town for the last week.

Yes, all the blooms so far are in this shade of color and a very pale, light yellowish color (like hay or straw colored almost).

I bought 10 seeds from Parks and had 60% germination (although it could have been me--my first seed starting). I have 2 other vines that are growing up a larger trellis and when I got home last night they had taken off like a rocket!! This is the same 2 vines as the photo above.

I'll see about seed collecting...so far I haven't noticed any, but as I said I've been out of town for a week.
