| De la Guardia Vine Flower or Something Else? |
The peach colored vine flower grows inside the Fort San Pedro at Plaza Indepedencia Cebu City, Philippines. I asked the care taker about the name of that vine flower and he replied to me "It is De La Guardia flower". I searched online but nothing came out about this flower. Does anybody knows the real name or to be specific the scientific name of this flower? Just comment below and thanks in advance.
The following photos were different angle shots of this vine flower. Keep looking and maybe you could tell me something about this flower. =)
We call it Yesterday, today and tomorrow. We have that here in Metro Manila. I believe it is a common vine, it blooms during summer and December. It is not hard to grow this kind of vine 'coz it can survive in extreme temperatures. It also has a sweet smell, it turns white during evening and red on sunrise till dawn. They grow high, scatter and wither so fast that you must trim it often. Thorns are expected with vines and so is this. It is an amazing vine that blooms fragrant flowers.
ReplyDeleteIs there a short cut name for the "Yesterday, today and tomorrow"? I mean a unique name or local name if there's any.
DeleteAnyway, thanks Ayumi Hikaru for the info.
I also thought it was Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. But further research shows its a Rangoon Creeper or Quisqualis indica or Combretum indicum, is also known commonly as Chinese Honeysuckle and Drunken Sailor.
DeleteThe pictures are absolutely beautiful, captured so expertly

Hi there! Love your blog btw. This is called a Rangoon Creeper, or "Niyog-niyogan" in the Philippines. I "stole" a cutting of this during a walk in QC, and it grows really fast once established. Follows the sun, and where exposed, it flowers. From a 1 foot cutting (new shoot from the ground), it grew over two stories over our apartment in just about 8 months. Now it's constantly flowering with that apple-y smell at night :) Hope that helps!
