Trumpet Vine

Not in my Backyard
I've always liked the flowers of the trumpet vine. Years ago when I lived in a townhouse, I planted one of these rapid-growing plants next to a fence. Within a few years it practically covered the back yard.

Trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) in Wikipedia: "It grows well on arbors, fences, telephone poles, and trees, although it may dismember them in the process."
