balloon vine ★ balloon plant
I received it from a friend. A small seedling. Oh my—. It was balloon plant . I'm happy. It's summer, isn't it? Sapindrum is a type of plant in the Sapindaceae family. The genus name means "heart seed". It is cultivated for its balloon-shaped fruit rather than for its flowers. Native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world. It is one of the plants described in Linnaeus's ``The Species of Plants.'' Don't eat it.
