Autumn Beauty, Hassle division

This passionflower is one of about 30 blossoms (if you count the buds), on a vine at least   15 long, woven through the blue border’s sand cherry,   lilac and golden elder. Very soon – before frost comes – it will have to be cut back, untangled, dug up and taken from Maine to NY where it will be repotted and put in the greenhouse for winter. It is 3 years old. Every year the same story, twice, if you count bringing it up in spring. Not difficult, but not fun.
