Glory Bower

Glory Bower Plant, I heard this plant name mentioned by my mum when we were younger. She had this plant planted in front of our house and I used to admire both its flower and its unique name. Imagine a plant with an attractive and arresting name as ‘Glory Bower’ or ‘Bleeding Glory Bower?’ If you observe closely you will see that in the centre of its flower there are about five red corollas which gained its name a bleeding heart. This is a tropical plant and it originates from Africa. If it is planted in the ground in the tropical zones, it can climb to a height of 15 feet like what you can see in the picture. This is a picture from my Condo garden. I have seen this plant flowered the whole year round.
