I like to grow unusual vining plants, and I read somewhere that this would flower, but I had no idea it would be such a pretty flower. It doesn't last but a day, though. I noticed several more buds on the vines, so am looking forward to many more "pretties." Good luck with yours!

I have grown 3 different colors of these vines for 2 years and never saw a bloom until today. At first I thought a Morning Glory must have invaded the bed, but low and behold it's on the tater vine.
