Thanks for sharing such an interesting plant! We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

That isn't from the cutting I sent you, is it? Some days I wish I still had my vine, but it was really getting way too long and the bloom time was so short and erratic. Besides... Salem just loved to eat all of the leaves off when we brought it inside for winter! I don't have any blue flower pictures right now. I can't seem to get a good shot of my forget-me-nots ever.

My sisters and I have always grown that variety because it is our favorite from childhood as that is what our mom always grew. But I also like to plant the other varieties nearby. You have a lovely display this year. We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.
