The Black-Eyed Susan Vine. Long figured for dead as August rolled around. A single tear rolled down my cheek as I helplessly watched it become a crunchy mass.Then, cooler weather and a ton of rain. I can't be quite sure, but I think it actually reseeded itself. Rising like a phoenix from the flames.
I started the Black-Eyed Susan Vine from seed in the spring (very easy and it produced extremely sturdy, substantial seedlings). This vine also does well in part-shade. It is part of my container garden, growing in an old bushel basket and winding up a rustic trellis.
A little bit of sunshine on a cloudy day. I can't take my eyes off of the blooms and the twining leaves. I think it picked up on my smitten-ness. And is giving me its best show.

I love that vine too though I've never grown it. The prettiest I've ever seen it is in your photo with the mountains in the distance. Nice job!
That is lovely. Maybe I'll plant some and try to train it up our arbor.
Tracey, mine didn't do much of anything either until mid-August. Maybe it's just a "late bloomer"--Heh-Heh.
