Emma - Actually I was referring to the leaves being a food plant for a particular species of butterfly/caterpillar, not in reference to humans. LOL! Though ... I guess this might be good to know should the worldwide food shortage get worse! :-)

It seems my vine has become somewhat of a "miniature" version. Even the bloom is small. Which I actually like!!! Of course, this stunting of growth may also shorten it's life. But ... to keep it from taking over my yard ... it's a small price to pay! I am quite fond of this smaller version of Merremia dissecta! :-)

And it bloomed an hour after the above photos were taken. I guess it decided to strut it's stuff! :-)
