    Cypress vine has provided an excellent source of shade this summer for my starter plants. And the humming birds love it. So between the greenhouse cover and cousin IT i have millions of seeds if anyone is interested.

    That turned out well, didn't it. I can't recall if you showed us some pics of the flowers of that vine. Were they pretty?

    Sjoerd. The flowers are very small so they don't show up in pic's well. I will try tomorrow to get pic's of them.

    Should be colorful with both. Cypress vine is something that will cover anything in a hurry. Everyone here calls it Mile-a-Minute vine because it grows so fast.
