Corner View - Flora

Corner View is a weekly appointment - each Wednesday - created by Jane and currently curated by Francesca, where bloggers from all corners of the world share their view on a pre-arranged theme. If you'd like to join in, please leave a link to your Corner View post in the comments at www.fuoriborgo.com, and be sure to visit other participants, too.





Railroad Vine also known as Beach Morning Glory or Goat's Foot, is a common pantropical creeping vine.  It grows on the upper parts of beaches and endures salted air.
These photos were taken at Cocoa Beach - the same day we collected shells for Gis :-)

Happy Cornerviewing!

    Goat's Foot? Now that is a great name. How wonderful to see those little meandering lines of green and pink.

    I love it when flowers grow in places where you'd not expect them to thrive.

    Loved your gift to Gis as well!

    I've seen those before on the beach but never knew their name. I think it is amazing that they grow so well in sand. Lovely! Thank you so much for sharing.

    How beautiful!
    I've never seen or knew that morning glories grow on the beach.
    I'm in a morning-glory love mode, Just had my first one bloom on our verandah!!!
    Happy summer days!
