Here is the new arbor my dh and I built for the exit/entrance into the butterfly garden. I will be renovating that 3-tiered bed soon. My daylily may have found a new place to grow! :-) This new arbor has Lady Lavender and P. quadrangularis Passiflora vines growing up each side of the arbor.

Nicole - I don't know how cold hardy Cape Honeysuckle is. If you can't find one up there near you, let me know and I will attempt to root a cutting for you. Mine was very slow growing for the first 4 years but has finally taken off. It took me another 2 years to train it as a standard. So 6 years total to get it to where it looks like a tree and is about 10 - 11 ft. tall now. I am in the process of training the other Cape Honeysuckle bush on the opposite side of my yard to be a standard too. It was planted 2 years after the other one. So it will take another 2 years to be a tree. :-) The hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees love the blooms! :-)
