Twisted.Snail Vine, Vigna caracalla



I used my Ricoh Digital Camera RDC6000 for this photo taken in the  Beautiful Garden where my son and daughter in law were married in 2007. The vine was a twisted mass of the most beautiful corkscrew type flowers.

    I have a post to explain more about this vine and with more photos if anyone wishes to view it please click here.Picture Perfect Snail Vine More Info.
    I would love to thank each and every person who dropped over to see this photo and I also want to thank everyone who left comments. I think the photo ended up as third place on votes and I must say all the photos chosen were Twisted and Unique. We have some fine photographers on multiply and let us see what next week brings forth? Thank you to the PP team how diligently they work.
