Sometimes what seems like a good idea at the time turns out to be not so good! I planted Lavender trumpet vine, cryptostegia, and it didn't grow fast enough to suit me so I put a passiflora x decaisneana in the mix, along with P. foetida, sweet potato vine, P. vitifolia and I think there's a purple passiflora in the mix too(can't remember the name, it blooms in the fall, leaves look like decaisneana). There is a gate under this mess. I put a piece of thin bendable wood over the gate in an arch. The arch is arching the wrong way now, lol. I can't open the gate, have to go thru the garage and into the house to get from the side yard to the back yard...............this was not a good idea!
Oh yeah, the Lady Margaret and Blue Sky vine from the other side of the fence, along with a jasmine Maid of Orleans are growing thru to the outside too. There may also be a stephanotis vine in there somewhere too. I got a little carried away, lol.
