It was a chunk of one my sister had in Seattle, but she removed the remainder of the plant that was annoying her since it was always brushing on her window.

I am sad at it's now planned demise, considering it was only planted 3 years ago!

Sure enough, it too is flowering. Sad, knowing that it will soon be leaving, but amazing nontheless to witness it happening.
