In Its Time



Here are shots of my sister in-law’s flowering vines which perch at the entrance of their house. Little pink sparklers known as the Chinese Honeysuckle adorn the lush green leaves   which form a beautiful arbor.

Letting you in on my little frustration --- having a lush vine that produces many flowers just outside our front door. My first attempt to grow such plants produced only sickly leaves. They crawled and climbed all right but did not produce the white bridal veil that I expected. I had the three vines cut but now they are growing fast again. Should I keep my hopes up? 
“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.” ― Pablo Neruda
Yes.
