Re: [Fwd: new pergola/arbor]

The building where I work, they have huge I-beams put together like a
pergola...with old wysteria vines hanging off of them.  Beautiful.  People
here think I'm nuts cause they always see me out there collecting the seeds,
or seed pods.....

Hey Theresa, If you
made it out of very heavy structural steel, you 
could have a wisteria attempt

tornados, torrential rains, and 
floods in Z-5
