| Does anyone have a good example (pic) of how they are growing a Hawaiian Woodrose vine? This thing is huge and I need to find a better place for it next year. Love the big leaves and fuzzy white stems. The flowers are a bonus. |

| I always forget the name of this vine. It's on a trellis with a black eyed Susan vine, but it's one I need to find a more prominent place for. It took a decent amount of sun where it is now.....I was surprised. |

| Sorry, hit Submit too soon. Cosmosoma Myrodora, the scarlet-bodied wasp moth. Needs climbing hemp and dog fennel. A really beautiful creature. |

| Amazing pictures T, you really have quite the green thumb ;-) WB - That flower doesn't look like dog fennel to me, is it Spanish needles (Bidens alba)? Another amazing picture.... Tom |

| Yes, they nectar from many plants, but climbing hemp is the host vine and they use dog fennel in an extremely unusual way: |
