"This spectacular Mansoa alliacea originates from Mexico to Brazil, and is known as Ajos Sacha ("false garlic" in Spanish). It grows into a semi-woody vine that attaches itself around the trunk of a large tree for support as it climbs skywards to reach for sunlight. The terminal leaflet of this plant is often modified into a tendril that helps the vine to cling onto a support. . Deep lavender flowers with white throat fade to a paler lavender as they mature. You will see 3 different color of flowers at the same time on the plant! — at Selby Gardens - Marie Selby Botanical Gardens."
