Funastrum crispum, Wavyleaf twinevine.

Hope it's okay for me to post this one here. The recent rains seem to have woken some plants I've never noticed before. This vine has wine colored blooms, and long, wavy leaves. It is in the asclepias family, although I didn't observe any butterfly action or eggs/larvae on this particular day.

I would appreciate information on propagation techniques if anyone has had success with this one.. there is a small colony of them growing on my western slope and would like to transplant one or two to my flowerbeds.

Here's it's plant files entry: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/137206/
