        That's the nice thing about the stuff, very colorful in the autumn. It's really striking for a large wall like that. Thanks for sharing with us Woo.

          Well that one puts mine to shame ! VC are a stunning plant , look great on a wall , shade or sun. They are self clinging with little suckers , so hopefully they do no damage (?) Well Rochester castle is still standing !
          Looking at the photo it appears all the stems are on the left , so they are supporting all that growth , approx 40 ft by 40 ft :scratch: That is amazing !
