Lavender Trumpet Vine (Bignonia callistegioides)Observer
erikamonsterDescription
multiplies by rhizomes, aggressively climbs trees...seems to be a bad invasive exotic vine. I have not seen flowers, but it closely resembles cross vine except that it has twining tendrils instead of suckers like the crossvine has.

These small sprouts are root suckers in a large stand of sprout origin of this oak in a longleaf pine sandhill forest. The larger trees here lack the wide spreading branches of southern live oak, are smaller, and produce acorns in pairs.
