Thunbergia comes in vivid sunset colors with contrasting eyes and one that is white with a black center.

A large family in the warmer parts of the world; represented in gardens by Thunbergia, which differs from the rest by the globular pod and seeds, the latter not on hooks.

Trails of thunbergia, scarlet trop�olum, apple blossom, cherry, and bramble; willow, with its catkins, a little titmouse on the branch; snowberry, with a robin perched on it; the red and white lapageria, eucalyptus, pepper tree, and others are some of their subjects.

The riotous tropical vegetation was cut back, and existing pathways were improved with steps of volcanic tuff, handworked balustrades and pergolas dripping with jade vines, dragon’s claws, thunbergia.

I never saw anything so gorgeous as the Thunbergia venusta and Bougainvillea, now in full bloom, which hid most of the verandahs with a perfect curtain of rich orange and glorious purple.
