Hello dear community.
Hola querida comunidad.
This vine has large flowers with colors that remind us of the sky and delight bees.

When I researched a little more about it I discovered surprising facts.
Al investigar un poco más sobre ella descubrí datos sorprendentes.
It is called Thunbergia grandiflora and is native to India, from where it was introduced to the rest of the world.

It is also called "blue trumpet vine", "Bengal clock vine", "blue sky flower", "clock vine", "sky flower" and "sky vine".
It is capable of developing a strong root system and grows to great heights if it is next to a tree.

Es capaz desarrollar un sistema de raíces fuerte y crece a gran altura si está al lado de algún árbol.
It received the award of merit in gardening from the Royal Horticultural Society, but in some countries its reproduction is prohibited because it has become an invasive species.

Its trumpet-shaped flowers are light blue or lilac, are about 12 centimeters wide and attract pollinators, especially carpenter bees.

From my house I can see the very tall tree of another neighboring house with one side full of sky blue flowers. Now I understand that they are made of this vine capable of reaching a height of close to 10 meters by climbing.

Yes, but sometimes exotic species, even if they are beautiful, affect the local flora and fauna.
Thank you friend.
Living in warmer climate one finds many plants have been imported and really thrive! Have a beautiful day.
