I have wanted and tried to grow this vine from seed so many times I can't even count the attempts. They have always failed, and I had given up. But then I saw it at Annie's annuals this year, and bought it thinking I would probably kill it somehow- like I've killed it so many times in the past, but while I did kill a number of other plants, this one totally thrived. 

I'm so happy to see it blooming!

Also called exotic love vine, firecracker vine and Spanish flag vine, it seems to like to be a bit moist I have it in a container that does not have drainage holes in it. A lot of the other plants in these containers died quickly but this one seemed to thrive in this environment.
