I was hoping for some seeds, but all the flowers dropped off and it did not set any pods...

Looks a little like pandorea; the bloom that is. I assume these vines are more tropical? So are they pretty prolific?

Yes, they are tropical. I have to over winter them. I'd like to try one in the ground and test to see if they are root hardy, but haven't cloned a spare, yet...

Prolific? I don't know...it has been stuck in a pot, so only so much it is allowed to grow, lol...

I saw that one at a local nursery. They have a big one that grows for a demo and they sell 3 gallon size. They are very pretty.

And you didn't buy it Susie? How high do they climb? Are they huge vines?

That is gorgeous!!

Kell, they get pretty big. The nursery has a semi-open greenhouse and the sections are divided by frames for vines. This plant is done like an espalier and gets pretty big! I would have bought the plant, but it was $30 and I didn't have my check card with me!

Remind me in spring to order one. I love it.
