Hi, I have short red daylily. They're named, but I never wrote it down 5 years ago, when I first bought it. I also have Physostegia (Obedient plant/False dragonhead) purple and flowers late in September till frost here in zone 5. I've tried to start Blackberry lily from seed, but no luck. The crossvine isn't hardy here, but I'd like to plant it in my Florida yard. If you are interested in trading please e-mail me. Thanks, Paula

I'm in the same z5a as you and I cannot keep a Trumpet Vine alive. That said, I have seen it growing in Hanover which is just west and a bit north of us. The spot it's in is more sheltered than what I have. We are out in the country and it is very open and windy in winter. Someone might be able to grow it in the city, in a sheltered spot. When I saw the Crossvine and read that it was a relative of the TV and an annual that set seeds, I thought it might be worth getting, even if I have to start a new one each year. Marg

Howdy Jeff, I think I have some pods starting to mature on one of mine. It's dark out now, so I'll have to check tomorrow. I'll send you the seeds if you want, as I was just going to toss them. Send me your address. My email should be listed with GardenWeb. Eric

Yes, all of the photos that I post are from local plants. I was lucky to find this one close to the ground, since it was growing on a young Juniperus virginiana specimen, instead of in the top of a large tree.
