A rare blooming.



A rare treat and I am late in reporting it but it was lovely. This is one of 2 plants raised as seedlings that are now 3 years old. The vines graced my dooryard all summer and put on a wonderful show, starting with the lovely silver green leaves and robust twining vine stems. And then gracing my home with several lovely blooms in September. This is Argyrea nervosa in bloom in MAINE!!! (aka: Hawaiian baby wood rose) I took the picture just before bringing it into the greenhouse for the winter.
