She started to flower, I’m so glad I got another one this year. She may be small in size compared to my old one. #lotusvine #flashbulbgold #beautiful #flowers Look here @sherrisgarden and @philstalder

And so it begins, second wave of flowers are beginning to open. The second wave is always better. She hangs down about 3ft this year. #lotusvine This is what you get when you trim it all the way back, early winter 😊 you only get flowers on new growth. She’ll have to be put in a bigger pot this winter, second year in the same pot. She’s root bound for sure.
