Crossvine fabulousness

The crossvine just looks amazing this Spring. It has managed to wrap itself around either side of the housing eves, which I keep in bounds by trimming, and is just loaded with blooms!

Just look at this:



It took it about 4 years to attain this size:



I really like the way it cascades down the corner of the house, softening the harsh brick edges:

When I originally planted this vine, I thought it was the tangerine variety, but it turned out to be the native instead. I'm totally ok with that now, as the tangerine beauty one is so ubiquitous anymore. I don't see this native one around much at all.
