AnjL - OMG!!! Will you look at those vines! That is amazing! And your butterfly bushes too! WOWEE!!! I love it! What a view! Who would've ever thought that hideous wall would turn out to be such an amazing structure for the Trumpet vines to climb! I looked at the 2008 photo and saw the trunks on those vines and about fainted! Holy cow, girl! They would not only be invasive here ... but they would probably lift my house off it's foundation and attack the neighbors screened pool enclosure and continue on forever from there! LOL!
But in your yard, they have served a wonderful purpose ... AND they attract hummers! How awesome!!!!! Thanks for taking the photo today! I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't seen your photo! That is sooooo cooool!
