The 3-yr old plants in my backyard, however, hardly ever deign to put forth a flower. Moreover, they croak in winter and the vines never recover and flourish in the spring (although the surviving root system seems to be able to put out new shoots). I'm getting a little tired of nothing but green. I want some of those hot-pink flowers. Any ideas? Thx. -- << Generic disclaimer >> Fred Christiansen ("Canajun, eh?") @ Motorola Microsystems, Tempe, AZ UUCP: ihnp4!{attunix, btlunix, drivax, sftig, ut-sally!oakhill}!mot!fred ARPA: oakhill!mot!fred@ut-sally.ARPA AT&T: 602-438-3472
