Plant Identification

I always thought this was a purple "cup of gold" vine.
But now this plant is making this fruit or seed pod.

The one I've had for years in San Nicolas has never made these pods.
This plant making the pods is in Lopez.

Curious.

Sadly, that name is not listed in either of the Baja Plant Field Guides...

I think it is from the Mediterranean area.....Greece.

That "cup of gold" is poisonous ....the flowers. That pod......Mmmmmm?

It originated in Brazil according to Wikipedia.

You have a Mandevilla vine (Apocynaceae family.) There are almost 100 species and many many cultivars in a rainbow of colors.

BigOly - 11-10-2013 at 08:13 AM

My gardener calls them cupa de purple sp.

BajaBlanca - 11-10-2013 at 08:57 AM

You were right, Mcfez! Angel's trumpet is beautiful too.

The picture in the OP is not Mandevilla vine. It is not a purple form of "Cup of Gold" vine which is Solandra sp. The plant in the picture is Allamanda sp. probably Allamanda blanchetii, common name Purple Allamanda or Purple Trumpet vine, a native of Brazil.

Enjoy your beautiful plant.

Yes, that is it. Thanks.

That is a beauty!
Very nice.

We have two collections of Copa de Oro we're training to create an arbor over our entry and carport and backyard outdoor shower area.

Love these beauties, no matter the color. So lush!
