Sorry, it was about 30 miles from here and hung over the porch which suggests 
to me that it wasn't in a protected spot.

Thank you very much for the info.
Looked up my Wayside catalog.  It refers to the C. Grandiflora as Chinese 
Trumpet Creeper.  It lists zones 6-9.  But we don't want to pay $29.95 ea. 
plus shipping.  They have such a beautiful catalog!!  But I don't understand 
how they can stay in business with such very high prices.  How many people 
would pay that much for something sight unseen.  
	They offer 'Mme. Galen' for only $5 less which I paid $8 for a 
gallon-size plant that was in bloom.  Do you have any idea how Wayside can 
get people to pay $25 for the same plant?  Have you ever ordered anything 
from Wayside?  I can understand the heft price tag for something rare or 
delicate but not for something common.
	I hadn't noticed Bignonia 'Tangerine Beauty' (Crossvine) listed right 
below Campsis.  
	Thank you for your offer to look through your catalogs for the 
'Grandiflora.'  I appreciate the offer and whenever you have the time would 
be fine.
	TIA and Best Wishes --
