Polygonaceae (buckwheat family)  Coral Vine, is a native of
Mexico. It is a fast growing, evergreen vine, climbing with
tendrils that will reach 40 feet. Leaves are dark green heart-
shaped to arrowhead-shaped to 5 inches long. Probably the heart
shaped leaves and the delicate pink flowers led to its Mexican
name cadena de amor or "chain of love". It produces edible
tubers. The actual flowers are tiny but the sepals are larger
and provide the brilliant colors that range from white to rose-
pink to deep coral flowered varieties. Photographed in India
