Thanks, Jan. I was beginning to think I couldn't make it happy enough to bloom, then voila! Here is a pic of most of it... sorry for all the background clutter. It is the only place I could get it to be in full sun yet out of the wind - and it is top-heavy! It blew over twice before I anchored it with a wrought iron, in-ground plant stand thingy on one side and the bbq grill on the other. Carol said these guys like to climb to bloom and she was totally right!!
I only gave it a week to transition from partial shade in north Alabama to full blistering FL sun and it didn't skip a beat. And don't let it get dry, either.

P.S. Gabi, your H. kenejiana is gorgeous!
