Python pandas plot more columns but shows only one legend

I want to plot two columns on the same x-axis & y-axis. But pandas-plot only displays the second column's legend (so no dots for the first column). Of course both labels (name of columns) are displayed in the legend box.

My DataFrame is:

df = pd.DataFrame({'datetime':[dt.datetime(2016,1,1,0,0,0), dt.datetime(2016,1,4,0,0,0),
    dt.datetime(2016,1,9,0,0,0)], 'value':[10,7,8], 'value2':[12,4,9]})

And my plot is:

ax = df.plot(x='datetime', y='value', marker='o', linewidth=0)
df.plot(ax=ax, x='datetime', y='value2', marker='o', linewidth=0)

If I plot the lines as well than the "legend" of the first column is displayed, but it is only a blue line without dots:

ax = df.plot(x='datetime', y='value', marker='o')
df.plot(ax=ax, x='datetime', y='value2', marker='o')

Is it possible to show only the dots in the legend box (and on the plot) for both columns?

Thank you!

You should try recalling the legend after you call the second plot:

ax.legend()

this is what I get:
