bloom time for bleeding heart vine

Question

Mid October in Houston, Texas and my bleeding heart is just now beginning to bloom. Is this common?

Answer 1

It can be just a little confused, if the temperatures are a little cooler. Maybe this is the case? Otherwise, it is just a fluke this year. Typically these will bloom in spring.
