Vigna Caracala 'corkscrew vine'

Finally a cluster of blooms!!! it climbed to the top of our porch post so it is too high to see if it has a fragrance ~ drats.

At first I didn't think I was going to like it...looked like a cluster of large white grubs! But then they are beginning to open up and they are purpleish and yellow, showing some color ~ it is really pretty but only one cluster. Has anyone else tried this? I'm wondering if it just dosn't get many blooms or if our season is just too short here.

edited to correct name to corkscrew vine...parks seeds mislabeled their pkt 'snail vine'
