Arranging Tip:
Unlike most branching vines, these flowers have some lasting power after they are cut and the blooms are not separated from the stem. Use this vibrant vine draped around the base of just about any combination. The tropical appearance of this flower allows it to mix even with old-fashioned types of flowers. The vines usually have some of the tiny tendrils that the flower uses for climbing, and these can be used to attach the vine to other flowers to give a climbing effect in an arrangement. See flower arranging tip, 1.
