— If you find there is some resemblance of this Alamo Vine flower to the Morning Glory flower, it is because the two flowers share the same family. Also known as Noyau Vine or Correhuela De Las Doce, the Alamo Vine is a Convolvulaceae flower, which is the same family as a Morning Glory flower, according to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. This perennial and deciduous vine grows to about 8-10 feet (2.5-3.0 meters) and blooms from May to November.
I made this photo in early June 2021 during one of my walks at the Copperfield Nature Trail. After some light rain, this was a good time to try and capture these flowers with some water drops. The beautiful burgundy center provides a great contrast with the flower’s white petals. This is a good flower to attract butterflies, but the Wildflower Center warns that it may grow very aggressively in a home garden.
