I've seen this beauty in my yard the past couple of days. What is it?
Please ignore the dead cucumber vines in the background. :)

Thanks! First time I've seen one in my yard. How exciting!
You need Passion vine for them Stephanie, but I think I gave you one yesterday, so you are on your way.
Yep! I did come home with one from you. I have plenty of fence space for more, though. LOL
Stephanie...I have a different variety that is evergreen if you are interested. I always have volunteers popping up. It is the 'blue crown', got it at Botanic Gardens years ago, very hardy.
That would be wonderful, Sheila!
