Or at least that's what my friends tell me it is. I planted this vine years ago and never had a flower. Last year I got one or two. This year I've got several. It's been so long since I planted it that I don't remember what it is.

I know the feeling well of planting something that takes so long to bloom that I've forgotten it. I really like the flower and the bud and of course the raindrops. I could see an alternative, shot from a little further away, with the flower and bud in the ulc "popping" out of the dark green background.

Nice capture, Richard. The water drops provide a nice accent. I might take just a bit off the RHS of the frame...it doesn't add much, and I think you could do a small crop while keeping the subject off-center.

This is really done Richard. I like the supporting green and the water. Sweet image.
