This Brazilian native climbing vine has a unique brown mottled flower that’s also called Rooster Flower because of its protruding lip that looks like a rooster’s wattle. The flower pouch is closed which gives it the classic look of a Dutchman’s pipe. It makes an unusual specimen plant for a hanging basket and one that’s sure to draw lots of attention.
