Sweet potato vine + UPDATES

Newly planted and baking in the summer sun -

to this in March 2017 - 

to this in April 2017 - after I built my 'wall' -

and here's one of the flowers  - 

And in 18 April 2018: it's grown quite heavy and has dragged down the wire mesh used to hold it. I have allowed it to spill over the lawn for the time being, as my intended carport with result in the whole beds being moved a bit. I will probably get rid of the sweet spud, actually, but for now, I really like their pretty flower.
