If you saw it now, you would all run as fast as you can. It is not only a mess but such a soggy mess. I need a long week in the back yard alone to get it into shape.

I have them all in the ground except one that is in a 20 gallon pot. I bought it last year at the end of the bloom cyycle for half price at Regans, a great nursery here. It was a beautiful huge pink standard. I had just lost mine and could not resist it for $79. It was so big. Of course I have no place to put it now and even if I did the hole would have to be dug so big unless I got it in right now while it is still dormant and I could cut off half the roots.

Here is one that a neighbor has. Half way thru the bloom last year, they all just curled up and died just like my pink one did. I think the vine is dead. I see they still have it planted. I am watching it eagerly hoping it comes back.
