Yes but smell bad ;))) Well, great vines anyway. Maybe I should try to take some cuttings to get a vine inside for long winter.

Windsurffer, these start pretty easily from seed. Can you find these seeds? I will be on the look out for you.

I grew some from seeds last year, they didn't bloom though... I have seen Cobaea seeds for sale every spring here, so they should be available there as well.

Evert, they need a long season that is for sure but heat too. They probably don't mind being somewhat dry too. The vine I had was one I wintered through and it didn't bloom really well and we had a hotter summer too. I thought I had put it where it would have been very warm too. We still have another month here where it can stay warm through the day so we will see what happens.
