    Very beautiful indeed! Thank you to those of you who provided information about this flower. But most of all let us give thanks to God, for technology, as He helps us to pass on important information to those of us who need it.

    DomCan, my mom would cut down that vine as well, because of that snake, no matter how much juice it provided from its fruits. I would go all the way with her idea too. I hate snakes so much that I cannot even stand to look at them in pictures.
