Akebia quinata

Very nice...

It is lovely. The plants all seem to be thriving this year.

They do, I agree. Everything that flowers has more of them, if you see what I mean!!!

Yes that is what I mean too.

LOL. :-D)

plenty of water in the soil for all the early growth. this is beautiful.

Thanks. I inherited it, but planted the cream one.

Lovely photo as usual. Mine has still not leafed out. We don't have any leaves on trees yet. Daffodil time here in British Columbia. My Akebia quinata climbs up and up and over in my secret garden. It never gets watered as there is so much here to water in summer that many plants just have to take care of themselves. Many moons ago, before we moved here, there used to be an old well nearby and I wonder if, perhaps, this plant has found it.
I do so love the way you capture plants.

Thank you! :-))

I never water this, either. It's growing through a very prickly Berberis.
