Seriously, I have no clue what most of the plants I photograph are. I can identify tulips and roses 7 times out of 10. Beyond that I depend on my viewers for the labelling. The beauty is enough for me.

animosity against the vine. I have been trying to get rid of it here since 1986. Even the evil round up does not kill it forever and it can and will grow up under siding, cement block and anything in its way. Your photo was beautiful though.
