Dutchman's Pipe - Flower buds for the first time.

about six years ago it was down to either Dutchman Pipe or Silver Lace Vine... I bought silver lace and lived to regret it...it barely made it through the first winter...but was completely gone after the second...and I bought it because it was supposed to be the most hardy...So chalk it up to another lesson learned. I can't wait to see the blossoms...
