I'm not a member, but you can sign me up if you like. My name is Jill Van Cleve; I'm in San Diego.
Mostly tho, I just have a Q about Port St. John's Creeper. I just moved into a new house, and took a sprig of a lovely, fragrant "vine" I found there to be IDed, Was told it wa the above-named, and indeed the one-gallon specimens for sale matched in flower, leaf, etc. But as I read, I encounter references to "tendrils"--I find none--and "evergreen"--yet my fence & flower-sharing neighbor insists it goes "abswolutely dead" in winter. "You would never think it would come back, alive, and flower, the next year."
What's this? Is my neighbor mistaken? Do I not know a tendril when I see one? Was the ID in SD incorrect?
Thank you,
Jill
