Actually the picture I posted was before my dearly beloved was going to help me clean up the backyard while I was recovering from a back ailment. She hacked it off at the base thinking it was wild blackberry bushes. This was two years ago and I have been pampering its recovery since. It's only about 3' tall right now but before it had climbed through a tree and was about 10' and when it bloomed it was like one sees at a wedding bough arching cascading over the branches of the tree. It was breathtaking. Don't know if it will ever get as beautiful or not with the heat and drought we have had the past two years but I'm hoping.
