..you will not believe, I saw yesterday this plant with soft pink flowers on it, for the first time I actually saw that in a store, now I know how they look like real at least, I was exciting...and the flowers are wasn't big, pretty small and that vine was about 28' tall yet, but it was pretty expensive because it's tropical plant I guess, so I didn't buy it...and there was many "kalifornia" kind plant for sale and they all are was expensive, I mean 40-50 baks for plant.

Wow that is expensive. It is such a pretty flower that it would be tempting if you know it would survive.

yeah...but I was happy just to see it...we had hard winter and two of my Hibiskas plants didn't survive also...

Mine didn't either but I didn't pull them out and now they are starting to form leaves at the bottom of the branches. I think I will leave them and see what happens.

that is a good sign....I cuted the long stems in hope to see some new branches from bottom too, but so far nothing yet...

It took quite a while for mine to start up...probably just about three weeks ago and we have been warm for a while.

It is called a Thunbergia grandiflora and is also known as a clock vine or sky flower. It is easy to see why it would have a common name of sky flower.
