An old friend gave me a start of this vine, but she never knew what she had. A DG'er identified it for me. Last year I almost lost it and don't know why. I had to wait till this year to get better pictures. I did move it from the mostly shaded south side of the garage to the east and have been watering it. It has to be dug very small as it seems to have a deep tap root when it gets bigger. It's beautiful, carefree, and I love it!
