Coral Vine

So beautiful! Right?  This was hanging outside the compound wall, by the roadside. Had to stop to take the picture.

Common name: White Coral Vine, Coral vine, Honolulu creeper, Mexican creeper,Bride's tears, Chain-of-love, Hearts on a chain, Love-vine

It is a fast growing, evergreen vine, climbing with tendrils that will reach 40 feet. Leaves are dark green heart-shaped to arrowhead-shaped to 5 inches long. Probably the heart shaped leaves and the delicate pink flowers led to its Mexican name cadena de amor or "chain of love". The actual flowers are tiny but the sepals are larger .
