P II

Hibbertia scandens P was for pea last Sunday. Although the spelling has not changed since then, this is a different topic now, so is not actually a sequel. P just happens to also be for the floral fragrance of Hibbertia scandens, which, to some, resembles that of what tomcats do to designate their territory. Its several common names are no more appealing. It is known as golden guinea vine,…

Plant of the Day

Friday 25 January 2019

The Australian twining or sprawling evergreen shrub Hibbertia scandens (gold guinea plant, snake climber) has stems over 3m long, with glossy leaves and solitary yellow flowers. The plant is tender and only hardy down to 5°C (41°F) so here it is growing in the glasshouse corridor of the Cambridge Botanic Gardens, UK. In warmer climates this plant makes a suitable ground cover plant or a climber for wire fences and trelisses. It will grow in sun or partial shade and will cope with a sandy soil.

What Is This?! III

Could it be lychee? Prior to the identification of Hibbertia scandens last week, another mystery arrived. I probably should have mentioned it earlier, but as with the previous mystery, I thought that I would have identified it before I felt compelled to mention it here. Unlike the previous mystery though, I did not recognize it as something that I had encountered in the past. Someone with whom…

What Is This?! II - Hibbertia scandens (sequel from last Saturday)

Hibbertia scandens, Guinea flower Obviously, it is not cup of gold vine, Carolina jessamine, yellow jasmine, yellow trumpet vine, yellow orchid vine, yellow black eyed Susan vine or any of the vines with yellow flowers that Google suggested as its identity. It is more than obviously not lotus, which incidentally blooms with orange flowers rather than yellow, but was somehow, according to Google,…
