Purple Hyacinth Vine outside my breakfast window……Photo/enhancement by C.Duffy
Finally, my hyacinth vine is starting to produce the lovely purple flowers that made me fall in love with the plant in the first place. I planted the seeds a little later than I probably should have, but they’re blooming now. And there ought to be a bunch more fairly soon, along with the pretty bright purple seed pods. I’ll wait for them to turn brown and then harvest them for next years seeds. The later in the season it gets the darker purple the underside of these leaves seem to get too. I just love purple and green together in nature. It’s so vibrant!

That sure looks what I have in a pot as far as the flowers go. I think mine says it is a shrub, or did it say vine? LOL
Love your friends back yard, including the lake.
Beautiful. I absolutley love purple.
Your fence is lovely too.
…ah, I remember the purple hyacinth vine from your previous home.
How nice you also planted the memories of your former neighbor. Do hope you’ll photograph the pods when they come on - for me, the most intriguing, and possibly the most beautiful of the plants gifts.
…wonderful news regarding Jim and Dottie! :yes: :spinning: :sunny: MuSe
The meditation nook looks so peacful.BAM BAM
I love that picture! And to think it’s right outside your window! I’m looking to plant mums right now in hopes that they will be at their heigh of blooming in Sept. I hope, I hope.
I’ll be collecting seads from my hyacinth vines too, although I have some left over from last year. I may plant them to grow on our fence… when we get it. :sunny: What a great view from your window. :goodjob:
So this gorgeous vine is an annual?
