This is an unusual flower. I almost missed in Grand Rapids gardens. There are different rooms for displays of hot countries and this creeper was over the doorway as you walk in. I just saw the creeper when I walked in, but on my way out I happened to glance up. I only took this picture, and am sorry I did not take more.
When I was in San Antonio Texas at the Botanical Gardens, the gardener told me to look at a particular creeper. He told me it had just flowered and that the flower is only out one day. Then he described it to me, and it was this flower. Wow! I could have missed this one altogether.
