Funny that this creeper has got its name Railway creeper for the simple reason as one finds it on railway fences. Every railway station in the city has its fence used for this creeper. One fine day I decided to pick up a piece of this creeper I found on the road side where we now live and planted it in the garden. I think that was a mistake as it simply refuses to leave. Every nook and corner of our garden is filled with this creeper and we are regularly pulling it out. And just when we thought we have finally succeeded in getting rid of it we see it again. I give up. But the flowers are pretty.

Just as well it's pretty since it looks like you could be overrun with it eventually

It needs to be pulled out lest it should spread over the entire garden.

If they stayed in one place I would have loved to have them.

I do not want to totally eradicate them though. I did with one creeper and that creeper has disappeared.

Those flowers are very pretty. They used to have plants like this all over backyard toilets. That was invasive too.

They are not sophisticated. They grow anywhere and everywhere.

You said it. Even just green coloured invaders are pretty but they devour gardens (lol)

@allknowing I let some plants grow and they devoured part of the lawn.

@LadyDuckI know exactly what you mean (lol) I want them around but not the way they want. If I continuously eradicate they just disappear
