It is growing up a hummingbird feeder pole and putting out lots of blooms too. Have you seen any butterflies nectaring from yours? Am thinking the Long-tail skipper (urbanus proteus) uses the vine as a larval host. I keep checking mine for eggs or caterpillars but haven't found any yet. ~ Cat (south tip of Texas) ...here's a photo of the butterfly that I think uses it as a larval host. In this photo it is nectaring on duranta repens. |
