Indian Clock Vine,
Thunbergia mysorensis |
Today I made my first visit to the 2013 Wisley butterfly exhibit where I met Mark. This was a good place to be on a damp day. There were some great scents in the gardens and the snowdrops were in full bloom. We saw one new tropical butterfly, an Emperor Swallowtail which unfortunately was in very poor condition. The prize exhibits for me were the lovely red and yellow flowers of the Indian Clock Vine.
