Weed Vine Flower

Once in a while I go out looking for something beautiful to capture with my camera in the neighborhood. I saw this climbing vine full of white flowers but this vine is actually considered weed in the garden. They are prolific and hard to control sometimes. They could climb trees like the meyer lemon tree in my neighbors and nearly suffocate the plant. Even the surinam cherry tree that used to have lots of fruits is having hard time getting its much needed sun because of the vines covering it. Over the years, I’ve probably collected pictures of the flowers just in the neighborhood. It’s fun and gives me so much satisfaction knowing my life is surrounded with beautiful things even if they are considered weed.
