| Thanks eloopj. This vine is on a neighbors grove fence and I think it started blooming around April or May. It was going to seed in late October when these pictures were taken. |

| Thanks Moda! Hopefully someone that grows from seed will come by to answer your questions. This plant grows wild around here. It sure is a pretty site along our road in the summer! We're having colder than normal temps and even though we still have some flowers I am *so* ready for Spring again!! |

| This vine is completely covering my back yard here it is a weed where I am. It overtook all my potted plants repeatedly!!! ARGH I will probably have tons of seed, if they've set before I sell my house since I have about a half acre of the daggum things!!! Be careful with them in florida!

| Mine and all my neighbors fences and yards, they are like a ground cover and then anything taller than ground level i.e. my pretty flowers!!! They climb up and strangle. We get them all over here at the nursery I work at too, and people always wanna buy em if only they knew hahah! We actually had some choke out big 30 gallon trees this past year!
