You can use cut paste to cover the damage, but you didn't tell us the size of the trunk or the extent of the damage. Your tree is a tropical, so it would love to be outside for the summer and brought in if the temps are going to go lower than the mid-40s or 50 degrees. You can get cut paste at any online bonsai sales site. Good luck with your trees! Here is a link that might be useful: Care sheets for most species including bougainvillea

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was a native orchid. I looked quite a bit on the net, but came up with nothing like it. Lucky my stepfather works at Suny ESF Syracuse and I emailed the photo's to him to see if he or somebody else there can ID them. Melissa1977

If this pipe is smooth it may not be sch 40 flex pipe. All the info is printed on the pipe. Schedule, Class, PSI rating, Usage. You might gather this info so you are clear what you have. I know they make a smooth wall (class 200 I think) pipe for irrigation that also comes in a roll. This is generally cheaper than 20' lengths of sch. 40 PVC. It is somewhat flexible because it has a thinner wall than schdule 40 pipe. You will normally see ribs on flex pipe that I described in your original post.

The first one needs more than a single flower, I think. Can you add leaf and vine and flower cluster photos? Trumpet vine is possible as is the related crossvine, I think, but see the link below to get more expert eyeballs on the problem. Second one definitely isn't poison ivy (I have lots of experience with it!), and actually looks more shrub-like than vine-like to me, but I have little expertise in southern plants. A great place to get plants IDed is on Garden Web's Name that Plant forum, which gets more traffic than this forum.
