Ha Ha Becky....they do take over my yard...well the east side anyway. I put in a 16 foot stock fence panel in to hold them back from the rest of the yard in August and you can see how quickly the vines covered that :o)

There's a chalice vine under there too...some branches are sticking out but the vines latched onto those branches as well and also crawled over my pride of barbados and are working their way towards a telephone pole on the other side of my back fence.

I call my ipomoea ochracea vine Audrey III :o) FEED ME SEYMOUR!!! ROLF!!!

Here's another photo of the east/north side of my back yard. The vines crawled over my back gate pathway and latched onto my baywindow security bars...and took over from there. (disregard the date/time stamp - I forgot to set it properly - the photo is from 12/10/07)

I just can't make myself cut them back just yet. I need to wait for them to seed out first.
