Hi Ladies,

today I came across a real surprise for me - one of the (for me) rare summer blooms of my Ochracea - not on the trellis, but on a branch that escaped me and tried to reach the fence. Pic 2 is my Hederifolia volunteer which finally started to flower a little. Pic 3 is a flying saucer that nearly went totally white - which i usually try to avoid, it reminds me too much of the Calystegias (pic4)which are common around here - common and feared, because they\'re nearly impossible to get rid off. Luckily that saucer was big enough that no one mistook it.
Pic 5 is my maypop - i can remember someone of you wanted to have a darker color than their own - would this be dark enough? You may just have to wait for the weather to change, my vine puts out some seriously different variants from time to time, I\'m just not sure what weather causes what flower color. This year, it started to have runners breaking out of the ground about half a meter around the main plant, so i think it has now settled - and it did survive my very cold January (several nights in a row down to -15C). It\'s practically unheard off around here, but I think I\'m not surrounded by people with an eye for special plants: If i\'m lucky I get a neighbor\'s comment about my (department store) dahlias, with people being blind for Passiflora incarnata, Bomarea edulis, the I. Ochracea oder a selfmade cross between Digitalis lanata and grandiflora right beside them. There\'s nowt so queer as folk...
