A
Gardening report from a gardener learning to grow succulents and "tropicals" in the almost tropical beach village of Chacala, Nayarit Mexico. My email address is gardenerinmexico@gmail.com. My other blog is called My Life in Chacala, at http://mylifeinchacala.blogspot.com

Hi! Lovely flowers & pictures, as always!
The blue/violet flowering plants look like water hyacinth (Eichornia crassipes) -- though usually a floater (and clogger of water-ways), it can be grown in moist soil(as yours seems to be). I think it's one of the loveliest of flowers.
The white-flowering vine LOOKS like a species of Clerodendrum, possibly C. thomsoniae (bleeding heart vine) -- its more like a sprawly shrub than a vine, but does climb (of course i could be wrong about these --hard to tell from a single picture.
I think it is bleeding heart vine as well. They do great here in Tampa Florida. It was sort of weedy at my old house. I don't have any in my new place, but I see people growing it as a climber on mailboxes. The postmen don't like this too much 'cause of bees.
