I can't believe it!! I'm soooo excited my black eyed susan vine is blooming again for the first time in 3 years!!! Here's a pic.
I love this vine!! I moved it into more shade this year, so maybe that was the trick!!

Great to see your vine in flower Julie - it really does give you a tingle to see them flower when you're not expecting them to doesn't it?!! Thanks for sharing your Black Eyed Susan with us.

We grow those as annuals up here. But that was BEFORE we got a greenhouse! You've inspired me to try them again and then overwinter in the GH.

Great vine comeback! I grow these all over the place. If you have never grown this charming twining climber (say that 3x fast) plan to grow some next year. Mine reseed like crazy. They are easily grown in the GH.
