Also saw some cool vines about a block down in the hospital complex. Possibly some type of Clematis? Not sure, but the flower on this one is similar to some i snipped from a Seattle-ite's front fence back home and have been trying to propagate in my shop for the pergola i built my mom.

I grew some from a plant i jerked out of the ground and brought home. Wanted to get some passionfruit, which I eventually did. Be careful, they will take over!Passiflora (passion flower)

@Benedict Munsinger I like the Oriental languages written down but couldn't cope with the Oriental countries as a tourist; I wouldn't be able to read the signs or know where to get off the bus / trainContinuing my travel notes from China. Today I’m smoking a Luciano (Pease/Di Piazza Design 2014) Virgin Sandblast Chubby Dublin with Scottish Autumn Flake. Also picked up an authentic black Pu-erh tea, vintage 2007 — a true taste of the Middle Kingdom.
