Chalice Vine

One of the most asked about flowering vines in the garden is the Chalice Vine (Solandra maxima). To read about this vine, please see this link.

The flowers are quite spectacular. They are pollinated by bats. They grow vigorously along a fence or on a trellis. On occasion, the gardens plant shop has some of the plants for sale that were rooted from the cuttings taken from the one on the grounds.
