Re: greenhouse/butterflies...pipevine

Not really, but it has survived here fine....even last year with 6 inches  of 
snow on it's head. The upper leaves shriveled up, but the vine was  fine.   
It has never died back.  We've had no freezes this year,  although a few close 
calls....and it is still blooming!   The blooms  are about 10 inches to a foot 
long.   A friend of mine in Clear Lake  (in between Houston and Galveston) 
grows the A. gigantea....talk about  gorgeous!!  The blooms are 18 inches long 
at least!  Absolutely  spectacular, although it doesn't seem to bloom as much 
as my A. grande  does.  If you send me your mailing address, I'd be glad to 
send you some  seeds.  I still owe a bunch of folks some seeds, so will be 
sending those  out soon too.

Would  you know just how zone hardy A. grande is?
