Thanks very much for the id--I knew some of you would have the answer. Next season I will pay more attention to it earlier in the season. Right now, don't think it looks its best. LOL. I googled it after learning the name. When in bloom it is kind of pretty. Photo borrowed from UMASS Extension site:

I'll gladly try and root plants for both the S.J.H.R.G. and Sacramento Cemetery. I'll let you know when/if I have plants for you both. I can't make it to Quarryhill, wish I could. Jeri, I'll ask a friend if she could photograph it and post it here, it will probably take a couple weeks to schedule that. Luxrosa

i think you are right i didnt know that mandevilla came in shrub/tree form since i have only ever seen the creeper vine style of it at nurseries around town that are thin and airy looking. Now to go back and get some cutting off of it and try my luck at starting it. Thanks carol

yep looks like a new seed project for the butterfly garden i am slowly building in my yard. Thanks seedmoney
