Well, yes, those vines do tend to thrive here. The morning glory, for instance, has grown to cover the entire roof! The thunbergia is in a pot on a deck with cape honeysuckle behind it (grown to a hedge which is at the top of the second story) and the thunbergia is twining its way through the hedge and contrasting nicely with the orange. A couple of miles down Pacific Coast Highway they use the thunbergia as a roadside bank cover! But here's the rub: I can't grow peonies or lilacs, two of my favorite spring flowers (and scents). Is this a "grass is always greener" thread?
