Back Fence

17 Mar 2022 20 35 235
This is our new back fence (yes there is a fence under all those leaves) as yet I have not found out what plant this is. It grabs hold of anything close to cling to and climb over. even our plants we put too close after 2 weeks the tendrils had found the plants and was trying to climb over them all. this vine is the extreme foreground of the shot of the Kookaburra. I took a small piece to the local nursery we where able to identify it as we found some there for sale. The Plant is Pyrostegia Venusta orange Trumpet vine. www.burkesbackyard.com.au/fact-sheets/in-the-garden/climbers/orange-trumpet-creeper-3

I was told "it will never survive"(expert advice from the garden center) a Bougainvillea i dug out of the garden destined for the bin. This covered our whole back fence but What if ... Enjoy the flowers from the dead tree and two years work.
