Thanks for the information, so far this is all I have on the Psiguria 
vine.....the extension of the butterflies' life is fascinating.  The vine is 
so tiny now that I think it will be awhile until it blooms (8").

15 species from Tropical America - I wonder if that means this vine can take 
humidity?  I guess I'll leave this one in a pot and move it around until I 
see that it is growing well.

Thanks for your help.
