Thanks Kat. I am getting a sweet little baby plant from D'Ann. FlowerLady

I have a rooted no id brug if you're interested. I got it in a trade and they did not know anything about it. It was growing great and then last years freeze was coming. I ran out and got a cutting just in case. The freeze killed the main one back to the ground but it came back...then we got a freeze this year and same thing happened...so the poor thing has never bloomed. But the cutting I took is still in it's cup and doing great. I'd be interested in the michelia if you want to trade. Any chance you're coming to the Tampa Swap in April? We can trade then if you want. Lori

Liane I can't supply cuttings to WA but mine is setting seed now if you don;t mind waiting a bit for the flowers to die off. And yes they do grow from seed. If you don't get any cuttings or plant offers locally then send me an e-mail privately with your address for when they are collected.

Hi It does grow like a vine Entwines onto a support and over time enlarges . Both of these were planted in the early eighties ,so very old . have been flattened a couple of timse by hurricanes plus the first had a shadehouse put on top of it by Jeanne and it was a couple of weeks before I got it dug out lol Both recovered but of course took some time I found the white form to be far less vigorous than the purple I gave that to a neighbor and she killed it lol have never seen the bicolored type Irma The light colored flower is a Brunfelsia of some sort I believe pauciflora as it winter flowers and has no aroma , These are often called Yesterday ,Today and Tomorrow because they change color over time . have never had any luck getting cuttings to root even with burying the canes while still attached I recently removed the trellis on the second because it had lifted it out of the ground so was holding up the trellis rather than reverse lol. Goal is to prune into a sprawling shrub?? Since I did some serious pruning I'm trying some in the compost bed seeems to have some magical properties as all kinds of things pop up in it , Remined me of the other common name "Sandpaper vine " now have cuts all over my hands . Someday I'll get smart enough to wear gloves?? lol gary
