Look at the Stephanotis growing on the garage wall and alongside the Virginia creeper. The blackberries of the Virginia Creeper in the autumn make wonderful companions to the stark white of the Stephanotis which is still blooming quite late this year. Both provide great passive solar ptotection on the house.....you can see it climbing around the window at the front which faces east. The room behind the window is the coolest in the house.
Two pairs of doves and finches of some kind had their families in the creeper this summer providing a cool and safe home for their babies.
Such fun when the birds come and nest so close to the house. Just posted one myself.
