It blooms off and on starting early spring here - and right now is just full of flowers. I'd never seen orioles go after my flowers before - maybe it's the young ones not knowing what they are doing! LOL

Beautiful plant anyway. The strands get very long and can be propagated by clipping a piece off and planting.
