Aww, Lin! You're too sweet! It's all dumb luck for me! LOL This obovata grew like a madman all through the winter. I thought they were supposed to slow down in cooler weather, but apparently this one doesn't know that. The vines are sooo long! Here's a picture of the whole plant.

I used the beer fertilizer through the winter and then put some slow release fertilizer pellets (Osmocote, I think) in the pot back in the spring because I'm not very good about fertilizing outside plants. It hangs on the north side of my carport. I didn't think that would be enough sun for it, but it does get momentary splashes of sun throughout the day.
