Picture
The orange bell flower is quite typical of these parts—other colors in the
same family won't grow, only the orange one. The archway was quite bare some 15 
years ago. It was made to support the vines. The relatively narrow stone pillars 
were all cut by hand, which is a work of art in itself. You see, a 12-foot-tall 
pillar like this can easily snap if hammered in the 'wrong' place. And, finally, 
in the picture, you can see that there are two sister plants, so that one 
day they will come together and form a complete loving embrace. 
Each year I imagine that moment ...soon perhaps?

How long do the blossoms last? We are looking forward to seeing everything in all the September glory when we visit. Hoping fire season will be over, heat will lift and celebrations of harvest will begin!
