| looks like an Ipomea species? Quite possibly a weed plant. |

Judy, this is an excerpt from a friend of mine who has provided you with an answer! Cheers from Kris "Turbina corymbosa (Convolvulaceae) and yes it is a weed. Recently photographed it again near the Curtain Fig in full bloom, and its also on the banks of the Barron at Kamerunga. Quite spectacular in flower and as a mature liane it also develops incredibly ropy contorted stems, would be worth growing somewhere with zero potential for it to naturalize, eg middle of Saudi desert, a glasshouse in the Yukon, in the middle of a concrete jungle with stormwater draining directly to the sea etc. I also recently photographed at Nong Nooch BG another sp in the genus from New Caledonia with brilliant crimson flowers which seems to be a much tamer Turbina." |
