Description
A eager climber with light green, ivylike leaves. The yellow or orange petals overlap to a startling black eye. It produces tendrils to enable climbing.
The genus is named in honour of Swedish Botanist Carl Thunberg who travelled as a doctor with the Dutch East India Company ships and did extensive botanical exploration in southern Africa. The specific name is derived from the province of Natal (now Kwazulu-Natal) where the plant occurs naturally. The photo here does not show Thunbergia Natalensis, which is a powder blue colour. This is Thunbergia Alata.

beautiful flowers and I love the different shades
Lovely flower, and thanks for the info! I've always known this as black-eyed Susan.
Of course, another species of flower I've never seen or heard of before! I sure am flora challenged. Delicate, different, good composition in this fine capture, Chris.
Gorgeous flowers!
Beautiful! And I have seen these flowers before, and knew the name. Interesting colors.
Beautiful...
VERI NICE...................♥

I almost bought this plant last weekend but decided it would get too big for the area I wanted it for. Gorgeous but simple blooms. Outstanding shot.
