I enjoy adding new plants to my garden.  About 10 years ago, I planted a Trumpet Vine and encouraged it to trail over a fence in my back yard.  The tube-like flowers attract hummingbirds.  The plant has always been full and green, but never developed any flowers.  About 2 weeks ago as I was puttering in the garden, I noticed a cluster of 4 flower buds!  These were the very first flowers after 10 years of waiting and hoping!  I was so excited!  The other night I went back out to the garden with plans to photograph the flowers.  To my dismay, 3 of them were gone and only one remained!  The deer must have been as excited to see the new flowers as I was!  Thankfully the one remaining flower was open and I had a chance to take a few photos.  If anyone has this plant in their garden, I would love some advice on how to encourage more flowers.  I read that the plant must mature before it blooms, so maybe this year was the start of great things to come!
