Day 60


Senecio Confusus

Mexican Flame Vine

The translation for senecio confusus is "confused old man".  If the vine is not supported it will grow wildly, piling up on itself and become a sprawling shrub.  It is native to Mexico as its common name implies.  They are used as a decorative plant draping over porch rails, climbing chain link fences and growing up tall tree trunks.  The bright orange flowers attract many butterflies.
