Vine Triumphant

The lovely trumpet vine in bloom,
So glorious from my living room,
Covers the grey utility pole
Giving that drab thing oomph and soul.
Each day the petals multiply
Slowing the traffic passing by.

Nice ... both the pic and the verse

Gorgeous.  As is the vine itself, but what a pain it is.  I'm getting ready to paint the outside of my house, and pulling that vine off and pulling it off and pulling it off and there's still more to pull.  It gets right up into the roof.

Sigh

Oh sorry about that.  I had an evergreen clematis that tore off my gutter, so I pulled it out and have not planted any vines near my house since.  This vine can do no damage to the pole it is on unless the utility people come along and object.  joyce

My own fault for letting it grow there.
