Wonderful vine. I started very late, in a huge pot; it is over the wall and started blooming late Aug. Only 3-4 blooms a day but so pretty. Mine are the same as the photos from OhioB and QueenB. 6' and vine is super healthy.
Will start e a r l i e r next year!
Lovely bloom; different color from most deep shades.

The flowers are absolutely gorgeous, but because they're so big and heavy, they're prone to get beat up by the slightest breeze, and will stick to leaves and other objects very easily. It also has a tendency to flop over under it's own weight. The best time to view this one is early in the morning when it opens before it gets abused!
