podster, I am in zone 8a too, and after doing a little research on the Manettia cordifolia I found someone growing it in Plano which also is in 8a. She said that it is a very thirsty plant, and is under the impression that it is not hardy in 8a. I guess that I will be adding another plant to my list to take in and out of the greenhouse.
phughes is right , the flower is a bleeding heart vine, not fully opened.
