This flower is named a Black-eyed Susan Vine. The technical name is Thunbergia alata, which is a climbing plant native to eastern Africa, South America, Australia, Hawaii, Texas, and Florida. So it is a temperate plant. It is a perenial that is used as an ornamental in gardens and often in hanging baskets. It has large heart shaped leaves. I tried to capture its characteristics here in this poem.

This poem consists of simple abab rhymed quatrains in an 8-6 meter.

This phtograph was taken by the author along a walking path in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
