I saw this pretty flower a couple of miles from my house, growing on a dry hillside. It's sort of a vine, but not very tall. It was hard to stretch it out to see how tall it actually was. It has tendrils that it is clinging to other plants with, and it is a tiny bit sticky feeling. Not sure if it was just me thinking it was a little sticky, or if it actually is sticky. It's also a tiny bit fuzzy and soft. The flowers are beautiful, and each flower is about an inch in length. Any suggestions on the name would be appreciated, and if anyone knows anything about gathering seed from it, that would be great too. I don't want to dig it up, but would like to get some started on my property. Maybe from cuttings, if I learn what plant it is.

Thanks for any help!
