I Capture The Cycle Of Life In Vines My Wife Brought To Our Garden Years Ago (9 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

Years ago, while landscaping, my wife brought home some passion flower vines she had cleaned out of someone’s flowerbed. We put it in a pot next to our patio and now it covers four trellises, making a small living privacy fence for us.

The best part about our vine is watching its life cycle and the cycle of life of a particular critter it supports.

I'm from Cajun country in Louisiana. I'm a sociologist by eduction and by critical and analytical thinking. I work in support. The combination of the two has been a bit beneficial and also completely maddening.

Moderator, BoredPanda staff

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.

As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.

Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
