Petrea volubilis
Dried flowers found scattered around on rocks beside a mountainside waterfall.The sepals spin like a propeller when they fall which help to keep the fruit in mid-air and aids seed dispersal
Mountainside
I think it might be Petrea volubilis ~ Sandpaper Vine... no other signs of a plant but did find this http://gardeningwithwilson.com/2009/02/0...
Thank you Gilma! It looks so pretty from the reference but I could'nt see the plant. Will have to go and take another look
VivBraznell, it looks very familiar to me, it looks just like the dry flowers of my garden vine.

I did attempt to photograph the flowers spinning down but it was'nt a success Sukanya. They look so pretty too. Maybe if I go back up I will try a short video : )
Just need to close my eyes and see these come spinning down...waterfall in the background.
