The pink mandevilla with the crinkly leaves is M. Alice Dupont. That's the one that I overwinter in the ground. There is a white one with a yellow throat whose large leaves are not crinkly. The ones with the smaller shiny leaves are usually dipladenias (added to mandevilla genus in recent years. They are more tender than the former and are usually grown in hanging baskets. I have a large white one that needs a trellis. I think it's too big for a basket. My dipladenias did not like staying in my garage last winter, so I'm bringing them indoors. The problem could be that DH left the garage door open on some of the coldest days, and it got too cold. I'm going to stay behind him to make sure that doesn't happen again. Otherwise, he will be buying replacement plants and a greenhouse next spring. Sighing!
