Good for you for waiting.  That is a very good looking flower.  It would be hard for me to wait that long.  @O@

very pretty!  You have much more patience than me.  I decided not to get a kiwi vine because it can take 3 to 9 years which for me probalby means never.

Oh I didn't know better.  It seemed like a nice vine. I am patient, but not that patient!

Looks like it won't take below 30 !  I found this on Google

larger image Beaumontia grandiflora 'Easter Lily Vine'
$3.25
This lovely vine is grown for the 6 inch, pristine white trumpet-shaped flowers that have the added bonus of having a delightful tropical fragrance. Huge, glossy, dark green leaves showcase lily-like blooms on a 10-20 foot woody vine in full to part sun and moist, well drained soil. Hardy to 30 F. Pkt. 6
