Old Vine
The whorls and gnarls of old vines are like fingerprints. I never get tired of looking at their stocky twisted shapes. I thought their shapes are best appreciated against a background of mustard flowers, but that was because I had never seen one in a field of daisies. -- Alder Yarrow

After you've been slapped in the face a few times by long, whippy canes those vines seem positively evil.
