"Chocolate Vine". This delicate beauty was already up to the roof when we moved into Cicada Cottage. I love it. It is in full bloom right now. I wondered why it was named for everyone's favorite confection because the little seed pods are purple, not even a tinge of brown. A little reading led to the discovery that the blossoms are chocolate-scented!! I love it even more. In China the "herb" is used to encourage lactation in nursing mothers.
