Sounds like you had a good day working in the garden, Mary! And don't worry, the polys will find the regrowing pipevine!

WOW!!! I know that was a hard thing to do.

I kept waiting for the Polydamas butterflies to find my calico vine but they didn't touch it this year. It took me a while to finally give in and cut back one of the vines that had latched onto a light pole on the other side of my fence. That one worked it's way up to the top of the pole and it was covering the transformer - figured I better cut it down before it caused a power outage!!!

Have yet to cut back my yellow morning glory vine though...that one has covered two 16 foot long fence panels, covered a 10 foot tall pony palm and worked its way up into my neighbor's oak tree :o) That's what he gets for allowing the branches hang over into my yard :o)

I have another little Pipevine that is growing over into my neighbors yard. I know once he finds it, he will pull it up as he doesn't allow "a weed" in his yard.

I threw out some Morning Glory seeds the first year we lived here, nearly 20 years now and every year they come up in the same area as the Pipevine I just pulled up. i can't really tell the difference until I look at the leaves closely. Each year there is less and less but it amazes me that any could still be around. It has small purple flowers that aren't all that noticeable.

I just hate to pull up anything that does so well on its own.

Mary, do you still have red ruellia growing in your garden? I planted some about 5 years ago, but pulled them up when no hummingbird or butterfly nectared from them - this amazed me, since the flowers were literally dripping with nectar! There's a small area right along the fence where it comes up every year - I didn't plant it there, so it must have spread some seeds.
Some things never die!

Yellow Morning Glories? I've never heard of those before!

Red Reuilla?? Never have seen it. I have Brazilian Petunias, which kinda looks like Cape Honeysuckle but is really red not orangish. I never understood why the Brazilaian Petunia is called that, doesn't have flowers like petunias at all. It spreads from seeds and has sown itself around my crepe mrytles and really looks nice there. The original pot is still in bloom too. I think I have a picture, if I do I will get back to post it.

Here is a picture.
