I bought a R. periclymenoides from Woodlander's a while back, but it 
hasn't done too much.  The neighbor is now flooding that corner with
her sump pump, so I think I need to find a new home.  Something with
better drainage and a little more acidity!

The Dirca palustris that I got from them has finally gotten substantial,
though.  It's about 5' tall and gorgeous in March when it's covered with
those little yellow flowers.  I think I might have to move it since it's
too close to a walkway now -- I honestly never thought it would do well
in the first place.  :)
