I posted this last night but I didn't have a photo.....I still don't have a photo of the actual hanging basket plant, but I did find a (look alike) photo of the flowers that come on it at the end of the season (fall)......the color is wrong on these flowers but the way each vine grows upward with the flowers on end (4-5 inches in length)......maybe this will help jog your memory.

==============================================================

I know this may be hard to do without a photo but maybe someone can help me. Last Mother's Day, my daughter purchased a hanging basket for me. It had very full/thick long vines with green leaves on it ...they were kinda fuzzy. It had NO flowers on it. When she gave it to me...the vines were about 1 to1-1/2 feet long, but by the end of the summer the vines were about 3 feet long.

Then, in the fall the ends of the vines began turning and growing upwards and got a bunch of little (fushia) flowers on them which later turned to seed (which I saved). It was an awesome sight to see...

I didn't think to take a photo of it. I looked and looked online trying to find out what type of plant it was but couldn't find it...at that time I didn't know about this website.

TIA...Von
