Have had a variety of vines growing on the trellises over the years. Had thunbergia - removed it since the butterflies don't use it. Had snail vine - removed it since the butterflies don't use it. Had a passionvine that took over the trellis and started climbing onto my roof - it froze in December - removed it. Hmmm...also had my yellow morning glories on them - they got way out of hand - removed them :o) Had Calico Vine aka Dutchman's Pipe (aristolochia elegans) but butterflies wouldn't use it - it kept outgrowing the trellis and working it's way up the utility pole to the transformer. Cut it back several times over a span of two years then finally removed it.

The trellises are fairly bare now - haven't figure out what I want to plant on them. Am trying to stick to butterfly larval hosts :o)

So far have a couple of passion vines on them, a Blue Pea Vine and a Yellow Butterfly Orchid Vine.

Here's one of the passionvines - just took the photo :o)
