Thank you Delonix!

Meanie:
You're welcome.
Seeing all your beautiful pics of the Jade Vine, I may have to buy one. :>)

With your climate, I would have to.
Plus a Mucuna bennetti to go with it!!

Meanie:
It would be a very good combination for a large yard.
Supposedly, Mucuna bennetti is hardier than Jade Vine. I don't think I've ever seen one growing outside, though (I think it's much rarer than Jade vine). I'm sure they do grow here...I haven't seen everyone's yard in San Diego. LOL! :>)

Meanie:
That's actually the best way to see gardens. It'll only taken me a 100 years to see all the gardens on foot, here. lol! :>)

I hop on my bike and have a look around occasionally.
23 May, 2011
That'a another good way to see gardens.

That's a very interesting vine! I didn't know so many species/varieties of Macuna were available. If I had a huge yard I would love to try all the colors. :>)

If we had the climate, so would I!!!

Meanie:
If you had the climate you could plant all the Macuna species and the Jade vine. :>)
