I hope to have some seed to trade later.

Doris, this vine didn't start to bloom really good until the second year it was going, first year I may have had 2 blooms all year. I had wondered if it was gonna be worth the trouble and care if that was all I was gonna get from it..............LOL..........little did I know...........WOW this has really surpassed my expectations, and it is my husbands favorite. I have it in a big 5 gallon pot and it is constantly blooming now. It kinda goes in flushes and will be covered with blooms and then nothing for a few weeks. I fertilize it monthly and use the same fertilizer I use on my Brugs...........
Hope that helps
