Hello Folks ~ This is one of my favorite flowering plants and it is a vine. I grew this from seed from a friend. I have two a large one from seed and a small one from a cutting. I want to get more of these propogated and planted in my front hedgerow. I think it will be beautiful for the passersby to enjoy.
It is called ‘garlic’ vine because of the scent when any part of plant is crushed. It blooms 2-3 times a year, and this is the best bloom season I’ve had so far. I love it.
On the 15th of this month I noticed the buds below.
Below are pics from the24th and the 28th. This morning, I noticed that the flowers are starting to fall from the plant. They go from a deep purple, to almost white near the end of their blooming time.
The 24th. This is looking south. The smaller vine is growing/blooming over the arbor into clothesline area garden.
The next photos are from the 28th.
On the arbor is also growing blue pea vine and Queen’s wreath, or sandpaper vine, as the leaves of this plant feel like sandpaper.
Next two photos are from different times of the day, hence the difference in coloring of flowers.
That’s it from Plum Cottage. Having more rain at the moment. More expected throughout the week. All of the rain we’ve been having is probably why this vine has been such a happy bloomer.
Have a great day.

The scripture that this book directs us to is this one found in Habakkuk 3:19
"The LORD GOD is my strength, and He will make my feet like hind's (deer's) feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places."
Well this is like YOUR life! :)
What an impressive vine! It's certainly large. It reminds me of wisteria, which grows here and can climb up tall trees. Very pretty, FL!!
