Two days ago I posted a picture of one of the plants in my yard. It is not unusual of me to plant something and not know its name (and I sleep fine at night!) However, Midwestern Plant Girl was stumped and I hate to think my photo could cause her to lose sleep.
The previous shot did not clearly show the bloom. So here is a better photo of the bloom….hopefully this photo will help Plant Girl identify this flower. If not…I hope its not too devastating!

Conversations Around the Tree 
I like the simplicity of the shape and the bright color. Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
It is a beautiful little flower isn’t it?
It is the Black-Eyed Susan vine, Thunbergia alata.
I just googled your answer Aletta and that is exactly what my little plant is….thank you!!
Your’e welcome!
Thank you! I wasn’t up aaaall night thinking about it, just a few hours 😉
Oh good! I was worried!! 😊
Beautiful bright color you captured, Tree!
Thank you Amy!
I’m glad Aletta got an answer for you! 😃
It sure is a neat orange color!
Me too! It takes a village sometimes!!
I really like the color.
It’s such a pretty little thing. I’ve never heard of a Black-Eye Susan vine before, but it’s lovely 🙂
I really love the color of this little flower.
Me too … especially against the dark green leaves.
