Kudzu, you crazy old fool

Oh kudzu, you’re so naughty, and how I adore thee….
Covering sides of highways, byways and the old railroad

A vision to behold comrads!
A perfume so bold yet innocent, of grape kool-aid, draws you in to discover hidden under those steroidal leaves, the elegant- leguminous- the kudzu flower…
Purple and yellow royalty!

High on my to-do list this summer was to learn the difference between Virginia creeper and kudzu. Whichever, I love the sight of drowning trees.
