Those are lovely pics, Rj. It's gorgeous co-mingling with the bougainvillea. I love co-mingling vines, but then it is hard to prune sometimes. I had Dalechampia co-mingling with Bougainvillea, and I really liked the way it looked. Both vines, however, grew to be monsters and needed too much pruning so I took them both out. Now I just have one well-behaved Clytostoma callistegioides vine in their place.

Ecrane, I have that same rule. No more Ylang Ylang tree for me among others.

I have this BG vine in the ground. It started out as a six-inch rooted cutting and has grown about six inches per year. This is Year 3 with it, I think. I'm waiting for it to leap now. I thought about digging it up and moving it, but I have a feeling that it wouldn't like that so it is staying in the ground where it is for now. There really isn't anywhere to move it too anyway. This is unusual for a vine in my area. Vines usually become monsters in no time.
