On the wooden rail, along the steps to our gazebo we have a lovely new vine climbing up!
It is the Ipomoea Quamoclit or Cypress Vine.
A very tiny flower but oh so pretty!
Here it climbs up the wooden railing.
The Hoya Carnosa is also on the steps and both are gourmet food for the hummingbirds, that feast on the pollen and nectar.
These tiny flowers are not easy to capture...
Photos are taken on August 26.
Tiny, slender buds open up...
The above photo was on September 10; taken by husband Pieter...
Seeds start forming for next year's showcase of feathery green with tiny red flowers.
Maybe you too do have this tiny vine?
very beautiful! and delicate looking!
ReplyDeleteDearest Theresa,
DeleteIt sure does have a delicate look, yet such a strong bloomer.
Hugs,
Mariette
Deaerst Mariette,
ReplyDeletethis is such a lovely and wonderful feathery green, and with those tiny red flowers, a wonderful eyecatcher!
I guess, I must look, if I can get seeds here in germany, I like it!
Happy rest of the week, happy october,
Love and hugs
Claudia
Dearest Claudia,
DeleteIt is a very lovely combination of green with tiny red flowers but a real vigorous grower!
We got the seeds from a dear friend but they will be available on the market too.

Dearest Catherine,
DeleteGuess our season lasts some two months longer indeed... We enjoy it while it lasts!
Hugs and best wishes for your October as well.

So fragile but very pretty this cypress vine Mariette! How wonderful looks the green area surrounding your home! And it seems that you also have mild weather and pleasant temperatures, so I suppose you spend a lot of time outdoors.
ReplyDeleteWish you a nice end of week!
Olympia
Dearest Olympia,
DeleteIndeed our weather is very mild still and we love to be outdoors and enjoy all this beauty! We had some rain for a while but now it is lovely to be outside. We sure enjoyed this fragile but strong cypress vine with its tiny flowers. Bet that the hummingbirds loved each single one!
Happy weekend to you as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
What a beautiful vine. I love those tiny flowers. Love the pretty red color and starry shape :-) The vine is decorating your railing very nicely!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteEverything that we plant and performs little miracles like this cypress vine with its tiny flowers is such a joy. Great for looks and yummy for the hummingbirds.
Hugs,
Mariette
Very cute little flowers!! It's the first time I see this Cypress vine, dear Mariette!
ReplyDeleteYou always surprise us with your special and unusual plants! I find it very decorative on the steps of your gazebo!
Take care! Many hugs!
Dearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteWhen it surprises us I love to share any flower or plant we successfully can grow here!
Happy weekend and sending you lots of hugs!

Cypress Vine, sehr hübsch, liebe Mariette. Diese Pflanze kannte ich noch gar nicht. Und wenn, wird sie hier bestimmt unter einer anderen Bezeichnung verkauft. Und wenn die Blüten auch klein sind, sind sie doch allerliebst!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Feiertagsgrüße
Sara
Liebe Sara,
DeleteAber der botanischer Name ändert sich aber nicht; Ipomoea Quamoclit...
Sehr lieb sind sie und so eifrig auch.
Liebe Wochenendgrüsse,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteauch ich habe diese Blume noch nie gesehen - was für eine schöne Farbe -
es gefällt mir, wie sie um das wunderschöne weiße Geländer rankt -
ich wünsche dir genauso herrliches Wetter, wie wir es zur Zeit haben -
ein wundervolles Wochenende -
liebe Grüße- Ruth
Liebe Ruth,
DeleteEs ist eine sehr schöne, feine tropische Blume und wächst sehr schnell auf und blüht dann ohne Ende!
Es gefällt uns auch sehr dort wo sie rankt.
Ja, hier gibt es auch Sonne und Wärme!
Schönes Wochenende und alles Liebe,
Mariette
Jetzt habe ich sie, liebe Mariette, auch eine Prunkwinde - dafür hat sie wirklich kleine Blüten. Aber zauberhaft! Das ist wirklich auch was für mich
ReplyDeletehttp://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_quamoclit
Alles Liebe nochmals
Sara
Liebe Sara,
DeleteSiehst du, der botanische Name leitet immer zur Information in jeder Sprache! Ja, das Wort Prunkwinde hört sich an ob es etwas grosses ist aber erst durch die Fotos kann man wirklich sehen wie fein und schön die sind.
Ganz liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThose flowers reminds me of Christmas flowers. So cute.
Will you show us pictures from Gran Canyon?
I saved $ 200 from the vacation in SF, so next year I have to travel to the USA again. Clever of me :) !
What do you suggest, New Orleans, Washington, or the Gran Canyon ?. Or anywhere else?
I wish you a happy weekend!
Hugs to you
Astrid
Dearest Astrid,
DeleteThe green and red indeed would work perfect for December decoration!
Ah, yes I will show you pictures of the Grand Canyon! I had all these posts lined up (posted ahead of time) because when I do it the other way around, the fall is too far ahead and certain posts don't make sense anymore. So just be patient!
Both of us were so impressed with the Grand Canyon and also with Sedona that we would love to go back. It was beyond expectation and if you love nature; this is IT!
New Orleans is interesting but not for long... and so is Washington DC, interesting for historical monuments and such but a lot more hectic and complicated to park a car etc.
Hope this helped you and wishing you a happy weekend as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
What pretty little flower!
ReplyDeleteA lovely tinge of red!
But so is the Cashmere Bouquet from the previous post!
I love the way this ipomoea climbs around the stairs.
Dearest Noushka,
DeleteThose little flowers are very giving and above all to the hummingbirds and butterflies!
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs and happy new week to you.
Mariette
Belas fotografias...Espectacular....
