[QUOTE=TroubleAgain]  
I discovered something lovely today! The vine I thought might be something noxious like poison ivy is actually passion flower! I looked out the window, saw something weird looking, walked over and found flowers! So I googled, and that’s what they are. So as long as the vines stay on their side of the fence and don’t try to take over my yard, they can stay.

My neighbor _tried_ to remove the passionflower he’d planted a decade or so back. I’ve been pulling passionflower volunteers in my yard ever since. I finally just gave up, stuck a trellis near a couple and let 'em go. They’re awfully persistent so thank goodness they’re also unbelivably beautiful.
