@nativeplantlover... yes it is... a blessing... and also for some gardening space... as ours is an ancestral century old house.
@plantmanager... here is the photo of the vine [2015] that had spread over - I had allowed it - the scooter shed roof! I really enjoyed this ... also being a blue-lover! The vine got infested with mealys in 2016 and I had to see it dry and die. A couple of weeks ago, I found this again in a plant nursery and I bought two. Once again, I have planted it in the same spot and another one for the arch at my pond which is on the other side of that scooter shed. So I hope to see this grow with vigour in a few months. Rains have been deficient here this year as well.. and this is also one reason for the infestation.
Thanks to everyone for the appreciation and even acorns! I'm glad you all liked this banner.
