DescriptionFlame vine is a vigorous, fast-growing, evergreen woody vine that blooms in winter and spring with spectacular reddish-orange flowers. The compound leaves have two or three 2-3 in (5.1-7.6 cm) oval leaflets and are arranged in pairs opposite each other on the stem. Often, the center leaflet is modified into a coiled, three-parted tendril. Flame vine branches profusely and climbs by clinging with its tendrils. The tubular flowers are about 3 in (7.6 cm) long and borne in clusters of 15-20 at the tips of branches. The corolla has five lobes which are bent backwards, and the long orange stamens and style extend beyond the tube. The flower clusters may hang down under the weight of their own beauty. Fruits are slender dry capsules about 1 ft (o.3 m) long. LocationPyrostegia venusta, the flame vine is native to southern Brazil, northern Argentina and Paraguay. A climber shrub, commonly known as Flame Vine or Orange Trumpet Creeper. This evergreen shrub with its showy red-orange flowers, is original from Brazil, commonly known as Flor-de-So-Joo in Portuguese. This ornamental climber has become an invasive weed in So Paulo crops. The best show of Flame Vine - Pyrostegia venusta - is in June and July. In this time of the year we can see the Flame Vine climbing on trees all around in Enseada Azul.
