Kudzu-peuraria montana can grow up to a foot a day. It covers over 7 million acres in the U. S. I remember going to my grandpa Lawrence Dulaney's and when you turned off the 25 at East Fulton Church (White Church) on Dulaney Wilemon road, Kudzu covered all the old buildings and hung from dead trees that they had overcome and killed. It is a haven for snakes and all kinds of critters. However its good to stop a hill side for washing away.Cows like to eat it, alot of people hate it, and I would have to agree it is almost impossible to control. It kills and destroys and takes no prisoners. However I just think its PURTY!

I am not sure what to say here.... I have always thought as you do, that it is an amazing plant; however, I also see it as the scourge of the south due to it's destructive capabilities.
It is cool to see though. When I came back on leave from the Air Force I remember thinking how I had missed seeing it.
Great post. Keep up the good work.
Don, are you crazy? You are probably one of about six people who think that! LOL! I agree with you about the black and white photographs though, and they can make anything look nice.
Hmm,I don't know about this one,Don.Kudzu has both good and bad chararistics.I will say this, it's surely hard to get rid of!Great post.
You ought to consider having a set of three of these photographs framed. I'm thinking plain black frames to contrast with the silvery kudzu.
Thanks guys. I think! I think I hit a nerve with this one. Kirk thanks for being reserved. LOL. Hey and Thanks for starting to follow my blog. Mona I may do just that.
