Oh how nice, this is such a beautiful picture. I've had the pleasure of visiting MJ's garden and she sure has a green thumb and amazing plants, and now some of her plants grow in my garden. Maybe a visit again for some of this plant ;-)

My friend Sue gave me one last year, and I was all excited about having those flowers by the front door. I have been watching how huge the leaves were getting and how solid the vine seemed.....HaHaHa! The joke was on me!

My friend Sue miss-labeled a cutting she rooted wrongly as Stictocardia, and I now have a soon to be enormous Root Beer Plant next to my door where the Stictocardia ( Hawaiian Sunset Vine ) was supposed to be. Oy ve followed with a sigh..........On the upside, it will create shade there in the afternoons. I guess I'll leave it there since it seems thrilled...Ha!
