The hummingbird vine, as we know it in North Carolina, dies back completely in winter. Then in June thousands of little plants come up from seeds and wander all over the yard. Florida gardeners call it the cyprus vine, but it is obvious from these pictures how it got its North Carolina name. It grows very rapidly and my visiting children arrived one time after dark and thought a new tree had been planted in our flower bed. This one is growing on a shepherd's crook.
My friend Sheila, who gave me the vine several years ago, came by the other day and said she had lost her hummingbird vine. Considering its wandering tendencies, I am not sure if she wants some seeds.
