Dutchman's Pipe......have you seen this vine?







The Dutchman's pipe is a vine that doesn't always produce a flower. This year we are blessed with two so far. The first picture is an immature bud that is forming into the pipe. The last three are a mature pipe with a star shaped flower on the end. In years past, as the pipe grows, it has turned white. We are waiting to see what will happen this year. With all the rain we've had, we are having more again today, our flowers have been exceptional, then they are beaten down by the next storm. Big sigh.
