Juhur, your vine description had me chuckling - we fight kudzu all over the state.

I am so excited - last summer I planted maypop vine - which appears to be in a kudzu-like state of its own - and this morning I found what I'm pretty sure is a gulf frit 'pillar. I've brought it inside and have fingers crossed to nurture it into adulthood.

I know many of you are 'pillar experts - I am not, I ordered from Monarch Watch last summer, and was a miserable failure - only 1 made it to adulthood.

This time, I am beside myself because this 'pillar was not mail ordered but born in my very own garden, and I hope I can do a better job.

Wish me luck
