Cypress Vine July 22, 2012

Cypress Vine has beautiful lacy greenery.  The flowers are small, tubular little things that close by noon, like morning glories.  The flowers come in pink, white, and red.  Although cypress vine plants can be occasionally found in nurseries, they are very easy to grow from seeds.  I can find red seeds or a mixture of red, white, and pink seeds.  I haven't been able to find only white seeds or only pink seeds - I don't know why.  This trellis is covered by vines that I grew from seeds I planted this spring.  The hummingbirds love cypress vine flowers.
