Alamo Vine

The Alamo vine seed pod is as pretty as the flower itself in my opinion. That's why, even though the vine seems not to be returning this year (another casualty of the winter), I can't bear to take the old brown stalks off the fence because of these delicate little dried beauties.
I am going to keep my fingers crossed that the few seeds that I managed to collect and soak and then cut a wee small hole in, will actually sprout. Then I'll have more lovely white morning glory-like flowers, followed by more of these seedpods.
