This vine has been growing up the little trellis at the base of my really large rain gauge this year but not blooming until this week. The one I had there last year re-seeded, which surprised me no end since I never saw a bloom on it last year

Oh Toni--that's a show-stopper! Is that the true colour, or is it actually a tad darker than what the piccie shows? No mater actually, it's just gorgeous the way it is.
Boy, weren't you lucky, though?
Mind you, seeding without blooming is no easy-feat.
