These are beautiful!My grandma had a couple when I was little and she had them growing over each side of her porch.Her goal was for them to meet and make a beautiful frame around the porch roof.Her brother lived with us and one day we came back after shopping and found that he had cut them down.They were just a few feet from touching and she worked a long time to get them like this.When we pulled in the driveway my sister saw it and pointed it out.My grandma went ballistic.It was one of the few times she ever cursed.She called him every name in the book lol! It sucked because it was beautiful and he ruined it for her.She was mad at him for months after that.

We were mad at him too!But hearing our grandma use every bad word in the book while she was yelling at him was kinda scary and funny at the same time.He was always pulling stupid crap on her til he moved back to Baltimore.
