Field Notes

Description:

The vine climbs without twining but does produce tendrils. It produces long tubular flowers which are red and yellow and frequently have a mocha fragrance. The leaves are dark green to almost purple and produced as opposite pairs with terminal tendrils. The vine often climbs very high, with leaves only remaining on the uppermost portion of the plant.

Notes:

I spotted these lovely bi-colored flowers from the road growing in a swampy culvert area in Kennesaw, GA.
