For me, at any rate, although I have heard similar words used by others, this climber has been a disappointment when it comes to blooming. It has beautiful, brilliant flowers but it does not seem to want to show them, no matter what I do. So, a few days ago I saw it at a plant sale, a few dozen little plants on sale, and one big one with it huge tuberous roots potted up in a wide but shallow ceramic cntainer. It was magnificent, like a coiled bonsai, with its lovely succulent leaves. Not a flower, of course, but lots of character when treated this way. Anybody else found a way to use it? Andrew San Diego
