That is interesting -- the overwintering passionflowers I mean! How does
this work for you, I had not thought of trying them. What is your set up --
anything unusual?

Spring has just sprung here over 4 days -- from over a foot of snow to broken
buds on almost everything. Just goes to show what an extended period of
70deg days will do.
