My vines started blooming this week [that I have noticed], and today is the first chance I have had to get a photo. So, they are a month ahead of last years schedule.

I'll take more photos in a few minutes as soon as Jerry can drag the ladder back there so I can photo some at the top. This bloom is from the bottom.

It is apparant that this MG is a LATE BLOOMER. I started seeds this year very early and they were one of the first that I planted in the ground early spring. So, look how long before blooms . . . and not until the temps dip a bit do they start to bloom at all. This to me is strange because of the zone 11 Acapulco where I collected the seeds. When I was there in late December there were only a couple of blooms and all other vines had gone to seed. So, I have to also assume they are at this very moment in Full Bloom in Acapulco.

These photos are not too great because of the sun, so I'll take more in a few minutes.
