Phughes and FHmom: I wish I could tell you something magical here, but there's no secret. The plants themselves don't look all that great but the new growth is good. I only use liquid fertilizer on them about once every 2 months and really keep them watered. Like I said, they are in the most extreme conditions and I think the Sun does a number on the leaves. They're still full of blooms and new buds though. The plants came from different growers also, so I can't put it down to great stock. I've killed a couple of beautiful and rare vines by putting them in the ground, so that's why I've opted for Containers here. This year the lowest it got in temp was about 30 and I didn't bring them in. They did lose a lot of leaves, but are reviving.

Here's a pic of them next to my beautiful yellowed Gardenias! Miracid to the rescue!
