That's great. I've never managed to get one to both grow to that size and still keep flowering. Maybe it's to scared not to get on with it.

My daughter in law threw this out 2 years ago, because it finished flowering. I rescused it. I just give it Tomorite through the growing season and mist it daily.......and it just keeps growing......

Here they are widely grown as a cyclone fence and ground cover vine. Do they grow there the same way also?

I love the fragrance...these flowers are commonly grown as a bridal flower in Hawaii.

They are grown here as an indoor plant Andy.....and treated usually as a very tender.....They do have a beautiful frangrance, and I can understand why they would be called bridal flower.........

Oops! Sorry, I forgot this plant is native to Madagascar! It is tropical. I'm just so used to seeing this vine growing in the landscape in San Diego and other parts of California.

You've grown it very well there...it obviously likes the conditions you are giving it -- for it to bloom so well.
