Thanks Sherri! I got my
Hawaiian Bells (Stictocardia beraviensis) as a very small plant from an online website in 2015. We were still living in Daytona Beach then and I brought it onto the screened porch that winter because I was afraid the cold would kill it. When we bought our retirement home here in Sebastian, the pot was placed in a weedy area beneath a pine tree at the side of our property where it still remains today. It's crawling out of the pot and trailing all over the ground and it's begun to twine through a Monstera adansonii, climbing a pine tree. I rarely see blooms on this vine, likely because we have so much shade here but when it blooms for me, it's always in December. I just went out to take a look and there are currently a few blooms present, I also noticed that many of the leaves are full of holes from something that's been munching on them, so I will need to attend to that! We've talked about clearing that area and another weedy area of our property and if we ever get around to it, my plan is to move the vine to a corner in the front yard where it will get a little morning sun and hopefully bloom more often! Here's a photo I took a few minutes ago:
