    Beautiful plant & picture Dee!
    I got a cutting earlier this year and rooted it, and it seems to be a very, very slow grower,but that's maybe only for me the case?

    Thanks Mary.

    Ingrid, it does seem to grow slow. It didn't grow much the first couple years but this summer it just seemed to take off and has buds and blooms all over it right now.

    I love that photo too! You caught it at just the perfect time. :)

    I don't find this one particularly slow, and I just looooooooove it when it grows because the new leaves are so cuddly. I remember when I first got it, I wanted to curl up in bed with the cutting.

    I received the {{gwi:986623}} earlier this year and it really grows fast. Very cute. But weird. Both of these plants look like vines have dried up and petrified sometimes. It's something about the extreme greyish fuzziness. You almost can't believe they're still green inside.

    Beautiful flowers and beautiful photo!! I love the color and composition in that picture, it's so soft and balanced. My own H. thomsonii is opening it's flowers at this very moment, and even though only one of the flowers has opened (and it's only half open still) the scent is already prominent.

    Heeeyyy Dee! Haven't seen you in awhile around here. And sorry we didn't get around to a trade this summer. I think I probably told you about the craziness that turned my summer upside down. Oh how I wish for a few "dull moments" in life sometimes!

    Thomsonii is one I really like for it's super fuzzy and super succulent leaves. What's interesting, though, is the delicate vine those succulent leaves grow on. It's a beauty in a subtle way. That's a pretty flower, with that blush of pink on the underside of the petals opening to...surprise...pure white. Or can you see a hint of the pink in real life? Sometimes, photos don't quite capture reality.

    Anyway, nice photo. Hope you and yours are well. Glad to see you around!

    Thanks a lot Dee!

    I asked the same question on fb to a man that had a flowering thomsonii too, and for him it was also- like GG- a fast grower, I am reassured now that I know that yours is a slow one too :-)

    I agree that those delicate vines are really interesting, Denise! I also like that they are so wirey and jog around all crooked as they grow. To me they definitely look like the kind of vine that's meant to sneak along bark ridges.
