I love this vine. I snipped a piece off one growing in the garden where my husband and I were married a couple years ago. I put the snip ...Read Morein a pot and it grew slowly until a wicked frost killed it. There was a seed on the stem so I plucked it off, pushed it in the pot and forgot about it. A few months after mama plant died the seed started growing! At first was a slow grower, taking a few months to grow just a couple feet. Today, about five months after transplanting from pot to under an oak tree, it has wound its way up to the top and trying to reach for the tree next door. No flowers yet, but based on what I've read it should be blooming next year. I can't wait. :)

The seeds of this plant contain the highest concentrations of LSA of any plant out there. If you're thinking about trying to purchase some of these seeds for recreational purposes, I would NOT recommend it. Just because a drug is obtained from an organic source, doesn't mean that it's safe. You can loose your mind FOREVER, or DIE if you abuse this plant.
