VINES 
Some of the most colorful of all flowers grow on vines. 
These can be a never-ending source of pleasure, and the 
proper selection of varieties will give you year-round bloom. 
Keep the pruning shears handy and use them to persuade 
your vines to grow into thick masses that will produce 
myriads of flowers. Do not permit your vines to overgrow 
the garden and steal the space meant for other plants. 
The giant cabbage palms in Dupree Gardens festooned 
with flame-vine and buginvillaea will show you the pos- 
sibilities of vines.
