Expert gardeners-what is this strange vegetation? (landscape, growing, butterfly, cypress)

[smoky_topaz]

It's growing in my front yard and as you can see it's getting pretty overgrown...I believe a former tenant or resident is responsible for planting it....I do not mess with it; we live in a neighborhood with weekly landscaper visits and they usually take care of the "overgrowth" of vegetation or shrubs....

If you can identify it...clusters of star shaped dark pink flowers....thanks!

That's cypress vine.
Really pretty, it will die out when it gets cold.
It also reseeds like you woulnd't believe. LOL
You will have it next year.
Let the landscapers pull it out.

As butterfly said wave it goodbye, it will be back with a vengence.
