A cool climber that I've been wanting to grow for a while. My first attempt or two were unsuccessful, and I thought my third try had likewise failed – until one day in early spring, I noticed a vine nicely attached to the trunk of our back-yard golden chain tree. I had planted a nursery purchase there two years ago, but had forgotten about it, and given it up for dead. Now I once again have hope of seeing a mature specimen in our garden. I imagine it won't flower for a few more years, but I can be patient.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
