ARAUJIA SERICIFERA


Araujia sericifera is an evergreen South American climber that survives most winters but is not completely hardy.
It flowers in late summer and is fruiting now.  It's common name is cruel plant as moths, bees and butterflies are often trapped by the secretion within it's flowers.



They seem to usually escape the following morning when the flowers re-open.
