Queen's Wreath

Petrea volubilis

Description:

When I got this plant for my garden here in Costa Rica, I wanted a Wisteria, the owner of the nursery said this Plant/Tree was the closest to a Wisteria I was going to find in Costa Rica. It measures 6 feet tall right now, the leaves are dark green, shiny, they are hard as cardboard and rough like sand paper, right now is flowering with plenty of light blue flowers.
