I generally grow annual vines, as well as clematis (not native) and trumpet honeysuckle.Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-4767048192844487962014-05-04T22:54:44.949-04:002014-05-04T22:54:44.949-04:00I have always loved this plant on the blogs that h...I have always loved this plant on the blogs that have shown it...too bad I cannot grow it in my zone 5....what a perfect plant.Donna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-84412579863438694422014-05-03T21:32:22.237-04:002014-05-03T21:32:22.237-04:00I somehow missed this post before now.

I love the blooms but also like that it is evergreen.

Butterflies can be challenging to photograph, especially on tubular blooms where they don't have a place to sit while drinking nectar. They are easier to capture on flat blooms like coneflowers or rudbeckia. Try Take lots of shots and be patient.

I have not been successful growing Carolina Jessamine in my Austin, TX garden yet, but I see it around town, and supposedly it's native to this area, too. I've seen it quite pretty, but never as stuffed with blooms as in your pics. It must be in its perfect place in Georgia. I'll give it another try. The Tiger Swallowtail pics are great, too!Mary Lintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442420958964677458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335626764384885870.post-54916794479157035982014-04-24T11:23:33.799-04:002014-04-24T11:23:33.799-04:00It is a beauty!

I find them so hard to photograph; they just won't keep still. <br />A lovely post.

The blossoms are long gone now, but the memory of their lovely fragrance that perfumed the whole backyard lingers.
