Colin - That's very interesting that you got yours from Thailand instead of China. I wonder if they really are the same Yellow Chinese Evening Glory vine as mine? I guess we will know more if mine ever blooms! What were the temps like when yours was producing buds? I wonder if it is some other wild form of Ochracea?

Debra - That is great news! Has your Ochracea ever bloomed for you yet? I hope it does so now! I wanna see photos!

Jackie - The Ochracea sounds like a really pretty bloom! Are the blooms small or larger?

I played hookie today from work. My dh and I don't have the same days off anymore. :-( I wanted to do the livestock panel arch in our backyard, so I stayed home to do that today! :-) It looks great! When I unraveled and pulled the Lavender Lady Passiflora vine off my other white arch, I could not believe how many vines there were and how long they were. It was blooming like crazy, too! And I found about 6 more caterpillars on it that went into the cage. Saving all the butterflies that I can! :-) I will get a photo of it sometime this week and post it.

It rained last night and I woke up to blooms on almost every single MG vine I had. Is it something about the acid? I can't believe that Silver Shadows bloomed. It hasn't bloomed in a month. It is just about dead and I've collected seeds. But today it had one bloom! LOL! Must be the rain water. :-) Here is a photo of an odd looking Diluted Fuji no Muraski bloom. Kinda pretty!
