One variety of thunbergia is called blackeyed susan vine. By pest i assume he means it is aggressive, spreads a lot and is hard to control. It is aggressive. In the situation you show in your picture, it should be easy to control. It can't grow anywhere but up and over the top. There is nothing for side shoots to attach to, so would be easy to keep pruned. Blue Jade and red jade vine is similar, but much slower and easier to control and has striking blooms. The blooms make outstanding lei's. Passion Fruit; but, that is more aggressive than thunbergia. Pothos (Epiprumnum pinnatum) is a basic. Leaves will grow to 18" long or more. They are green and white or all green. Very neat by itself, or could be mixed with other vines. Some of the Philodendron's. Jasmine, but you would have to keep winding it through the fence. Tomato. Check these out and let me know. Good luck. Phil

That's a nice mix. Do you have any idea what the yellow and red varieties are? The rest are all different. I wouldn't keep them outside until the evening temps are into the 50's. I've never had a problem with transplanting. Mine get full sun and most like to be kept on the dry side. Most of the passies I've grown from seed take about a year to bloom except for foetida which started blooming in about 5 months. Good luck with your passies.

GEEZ!!! i am a very jaded person, never falling for things like this, i can usually see this coming a mile away...not this one LOL! LOVE IT even more cuz it's horticultural! ~ liz

Well, I'm no expert and I actually haven't had many problems so I haven't had to use any HRT. I have read quite a bit about it though trying to educate myself about the pros and cons. Since I have little/no symptoms I decided benefits don't outweigh the potential risks for me. If I were you I think I might consider trying to find a different doctor who "specializes" in these issues. The way you describe what has been recommended to you just doesn't inspire confidence. It sounds like your doc is just writing prescriptions with little regard for your knowledge or the end results. I had a similar situation with a nurse practitioner who prescribed topical Premarin and acted like it was no big deal. No mention about how you should not use considerable amounts of this long term as you may also need progesterone under those circumstances lest you increase your risk of uterine cancer. I read all of that on the insert myself and in other reference materials. Needless to say I never saw that NP again. I think hormones are very tricky and have significant side effects - some dangerous. I don't think I'd experiment if I were you. I'd find a good health care practitioner who really understands this stuff and committed to helping you with your symptoms.
