Surprise



This plant, which has not done anything except grow long tendrils over the last ten years or so, has recently decided to produce small flowers. We brought it back with us from Texas many years ago as a sentimental reminder of our vist (it was mainly food for donkeys there) and surprisingly it flourished in our living room by the window so well that we had to keep cutting back the growth before it became unmanageable. Now it has developed these small flowers that only last a day or so. We are pollinating them with a small brush - let's see what happens! Does anyone know what it is called?
