Sensible article, Sharon.
I do tend to associate at least all but the most gracile vines and climbers with rapacious tendencies.
Perhaps they seem a bit like those frenetically career-minded individuals who happily climb over the faces of their lesser brethren, reaching up for the shining rewards of authority.
And to continue: also relieving themselves of the more menial tasks of the hoi polloi.
Sorry, Sharon.
Forgot. You're just speaking up for plants.
