Pseudogynoxys chenopodioides Syn.: Senecio confusus, Senecio chenopodioides , Mexican Flame Vine, Orange Glow Vine

Pseudogynoxys chenopodioides Syn.: Senecio confusus, Senecio chenopodioides (Common name: Mexican Flame Vine, Orange Glow Vine) - Asteraceae,

 a woody tropical vine with the enchanting summertime habit of covering itself in brilliant daisy-like flowers. The bright orange blossoms change to almost red as the flower age. The scientific name of this plant Senecio confusus translates to "confused old man" referring, probably, to this vine's rampant habit of growth. If not provided support, Mexican flame vine grows this way and that in a confusion of stems that piles up to eventually form a sprawling shrub.
