This is going to be a great segment. I cant wait for the next installment! I have not been there yet, and really digging the previews. thanks
Amaxing - both posts - you are so lucky to live near to such beauty.
on the first golden chalice vine picture what are the other plants surrounding it? and what plant is it attached to?
@AmasticLauren, it is all the same plant and they are growing on a pergola.
thanks,
Eric
