I keep a light on over it all day into the evening. The leaves crisped up and dropped off around Christmas time, but now it is getting new growth and has many new leaves. Maybe I should bring it up from the basement into a heated house. I found a bushy Mandevilla..a Dipladenia in my neighbor's yard last year and it filled his huge container with beautiful reddish blooms.It doesn't vine as much as these. I was going to try one of those this year. Sorry this comment is so long, but I couldn't shorten it. I really enjoy your blog.

One day I was having lunch with my mother in her garden, when two hummingbirds stopped to feed from it. <br /><br />They were only there for an hot second but the thrill stayed with us all day for this was a rare site in our area, just a short glimpse was good enough for us. <br /><br />My mother tried to overwinter her's in the house as well, but sadly it died.
