Romneya coulteri escapes

While weeding near the foundation of a clients house, I noticed a 
flower head of Romneya coulteri comming out of a vent.  It seemed 
unusual because the stand of R.coulteri is on the other side of the 
house. I thought the plant might have grown under the deck, but upon 
examination it had grown behind a partition in the crawl area (no light 
at all), and it looked like long pieces of white rope.There were 
hundreds of stems all crawling toward the little bitty light from the 
vent. It would have been funny if my client hadn't asked me to dig them 
out. If I could reduce my height to 3'and not worry about brown recluse 
spiders it might have been possible.
		Does anyone know why the plant would head under the house?  The clump 
keeps getting smaller each year.  It's position is southwest, with 
plenty of room for growth. It was planted six years ago, and was once 
quite magnificent.  
		I really enjoy this group and look forward to an answer.
Thanks Lily
