This is a massive vine - and it's almost impossible to control .......... but I love it so I put up with it. It does not bloom continuously - but rather in spurts. I was trimming it today - and noticed some flowers; I've been waiting to photograph it and put it online for your pleasure ........... or dismay ! Heaviest bloom period is in autumn when the first cool weather sets in. I may have some seed. I think the flowers are simply delightful - and they all bloom upright the way they are in the picture.
