Passiflora
'Lavender Lady' is a perennial vine that is evergreen during most winters
here. It blooms throughout the summer and on some days has a nice,
light fragrance. It is one of my favorite vines and this is one of
my favorite photos from the garden.

Thunbergia
laurifolia is one of the best flowering vines for the the South.
It does die back to the ground every winter, but its vigorous growth during
the summer compensates for that. Then, in the fall, it is covered
by beautiful flowers.

The
clematis 'Mme. Edouard Andre' is one of the first clematis vines we purchased.
It has really done well for us, blooming for most of the growing season.
The flowers are larger in the early spring.

'Ramona'
is another good clematis for the South. We have one on both sides
of a large arch leading to the back garden. The flowers are very
large and it blooms for an extended period. This picture was taken
in October and the flowers were still going strong.

October
1999 - This is passiflora coccinea. I just call it the red passionvine.
This is the first bloom on the vine. Passionflowers have such interesting
blooms.

The
clematis 'Niobe' is one of the first clematis vines we bought. I
really like this photo. I even entered it into a photo contest.
Didn't win a thing!!

In
July, the passionflowers are at their best. They must love the hot
weather. This one is called 'Incense' and it has an interesting color
and structure.

Gloriosa
lily is a vining bulb. How unusual. And the flower is unusually
striking. I like this one.
