I have Major Wheeler down here too & it hasn't stopped blooming except in the very dead of winter since I got it last year. It has not climbed as fast as Blanche Sandman but it's more full. Blanche has some seed pods on it now but they are still green. I don't have a clue as to how long it takes for them to ripen or if the birds or other critters will get them before I do but I plan to harvest the seed if possible. Just put it on the remind me list Critter.
