re;posting "exotic vines"

"Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was."
Robert Louis Stevenson


a friend sent this quote to share and a photograph of this exotic Glove Vine of North America, thought to be very hardy but prey to gardeners who pinch things. . . .

going through some old posts and found this from April 2007.... lol. xx

I Love That Photo! We'll have to grow a glove-vine this summer. Goodness knows there are enough mismatched "seeds" in the closet.

I love the glove vine Claire :) I think most Americans won't know that pinch means to steal, unless they watch a lot of English movies or TV :)
That's a really pretty new wind chime you have.
