Well at first my husband said WHY! Why don't you just buy a white lattice and put it in the ground and be done with it. Well I said because that's not what I want. SO ~~~~ He mowed the lawn while I got up on the patio to build what has been in my mind for about 6 months. I did not want to see anything but the vine growing up. So I walked around Home Depot for awhile. I knew there had to be something there I could use. I came across some stucco sheets. They had two kinds of paper on them I just took the paper off.
I had to add some lattice to the top of our patio because the flower bed is not even with the patio cover. I want the vine to grow on top of the patio for some shade.
The stucco sheets come in about 3 feet sections, so I use some wire to connect each one from top to bottom.
Once this vine grows up it will give our patio more ambiance and make you wonder what kind of pretty surprises are on the other side.
This flower is just too~~~~ pretty
It is called snail vine or corksrew
OH! I almost forgot, my husband did end up helping me, he picked up the hammer for me when I dropped it from the top of the patio so I would not have to go down the ladder. What a nice guy~~~ I love you~~~
Have a wonderful day,
ginger
