Antigone
Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, king of Thebes, who tragically died in a drama by Sophocles bore the same name as this Miamian vine: Antigonon Leptopus, which is a robust vine creeping to tremendous distances. It has beautiful heart shaped pink flowers but can overpower and smother nearby native plants. I have been looking for a white-flowered species but so far have not found one in Miami yet.

A pretty shade of pink. Don't believe I have seen these before.
A pretty neat post today for the holiday.
