Christine, no I don't think it does...but I have never stuck my nose up there LOL I will have to check and see. This plant is pretty tough, I used to have it growing outside for several years. If it froze in winter it came back from the roots. I finally removed it to the greenhouse permanently because I wanted it to get big unmolested by cold. Now I have to say its kind of out of control! It isn't actually a vining plant but it does grow a lot of thin branches that tend to almost have a vining habit. I have it growing against the wall with a Bauhinia glabra which also has this vining like habit so they kind of compliment each other. Both have gone up the wall 12 feet, draped and hang down an additional 4-5 feet. I used to have an Artobotrys hexapetalus there as well but it died out. I have not decided if I want to try and find a replacement yet for it.
