Ruth, I have Lind Beck. and a single fan of Wonder of It All. Have started cuttings of Souv. de la Malmaison and Duchess de Brabant. Tell me about the corkscrew vine. You mention in the post that you didn't want to bring it in for the winter. I would need to keep it outside. I'll check your list again for things that I might be interested if you want to trade. I live east of 35W in far North Ft. Worth. Weldon

"Escape"? Don't bet on it! Any member in the Fabaceae (Pea, bean) group has the potential to do so. Hawai'i has three native Vigna spp.: Vigna adenantha, with whitish and/or light purple flowers. Indigenous, but either very rare or now extinct in Hawaii. If it still grows here, I have no idea where. Vigna marina, or nanea, a beach or inland species with bright yellow flowers; a common indigenous species and easy to grow from seed. Use as a ground cover. Available at Home Depot or Hui Ku Maoli Ola on O'ahu. Vigna o-wahuensis, an endemic and endangered species but now available for cultivation. Grows in hot, dry locations. It has pale yellow flowers. Not as striking as V. marina, but very rare and worth growing. Hui Ku Maoli Ola (O'ahu) or Ho'olawa Farms (Maui) should have plants or seeds. I would highly encourage anyone in Hawaii to grow these instead of introduced species. Aloha, Kawika
