Okay, three different pictures of the same 2 blooms might seem a little extravagant...but you'll have to admit, these are some extravagant blooms. And, it's been almost 3 years since they've bloomed for me, the plants being the prime snail candy in my yard. It took chemical warfare this year to beat them back, along with a prolonged drought. That being said, as I walked outside in a drizzle (it RAINED!!), I spotted 4 snails....none of them close to this vine, or the other, surviving vine. They must be the two biggest rhizomes I had replanted, because they've grown and then been eaten back 3 times this year alone. Last year, I was going to have some blooms from this plant, this exact vine...but the hurricane broke the growing tip with the buds on it.
This year.. recovery and success!
