Flower of the Day – July 19, 2015 – Railroad Vines | cocoaevenings

I was pleasantly surprised to find such a beautiful pink flower weaving its way out of the sand on the beach! Plus, look at that beautiful perfect star shape formed by the shaded lines on the petals!

EDIT: This is identified as a Railroad Vine after some search. 😊

There was no flower elsewhere. Many leaves crawled along.

Do you know the name of this flower/ plant? Have you seen other plants growing on the beach? Feel free to post the link to your blog in the comments below.

Enjoy!

    This to me is a hibiscus, but then I have never seen them growing in the sand either. Beautiful photos.

      Would be the most interesting if they were indeed hibiscus.
