Ok... Two new ones blooming today... Ones you haven't heard mentioned of here...could that be possible? Yes...
The first is perhaps my all time favorite flowering vine... My argentainain pink trumpet vine... Well...I am partial to things pink...and this one is such a strong grower.. And prolific flowerer... It will keep covered in these pink flowers till I cut it away from the trellis.. And bring it somewhere for the winter... ( Anne: that happens sometime just before Thanksgiving.. Maybe the second week of November...)

The second one... Grew nicely under the HID light...inside all winter... Then never got going outside.".always seemed dry.. And battered by the winds.. Although I watered and laced it with frets and cow manure... But is has shown a very slight interest in the last few week..to putting out a few more leaves.. And now has a few flower buds awaiting flowering... Aristolochia Brasiliensis ...ok they are small.. And just slightly exciting as buds.. Very exciting to have the buds though..
