I would like to find one for my yard. I'll try to post it on my photo blog and maybe you will know what it is :) We brought seeds home from one of the pods - who knows, maybe we can grow something!Emma Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-8191545385452603792009-08-30T10:59:35.019-05:002009-08-30T10:59:35.019-05:00Now I know what they're called!

I have a hard time controlling mine. It is wound over my trellis and fence.
