Thanks Eleanor,

I am going to have to try that vine next year for sure. It is breathtaking and so huge. And it looks great for Sept, when quite a few of my pots are starting to decline, so I am taking cuttings now to keep the flowers in the basement under lights for the winter. I am taking cuttings of the Madevillas, Dipladenias, Million Bells and my trailing portulaca--so far. I will post a picture of one of my Million Bells cuttings. Also I planted one of my seedlings from one of my Zowie zinnas about a month ago and one now has a bud and should bloom in a week. The Zowie is a hybrid so it will be fun to see what the flower looks like. I can see dark pink on the bud so far so maybe it will be similar to the beautiful Zowie---I hope.
