Hummingbird Magnet

By the back door, twined together

I planted cardinal climber and moonflower plants from seed. I planted the cardinal climber by the back door, the moon flowers by the back and front doors both, as well as in a pot on the side of the house. None of them bloomed until September. The cardinal climber is frequented by a hummingbird - I can see the vine as I go about my daily business, and have often stopped to admire the flitting tiny scrap of a bird. The moonflowers are supposed to attract giant luna moths, but I haven't seen any yet. 

I would consider this a highly successful venture!

I caught the first moonflower as I went out at night

I only planted the cardinal climber in one place
because it can really take over.
It's likely to seed and come back next year.
