This is fun.... -
I agree with Jennifer T. This thing will get very invasive but the flowers on mine are some bigger. Maybe your location. They grow wild here in east Tx. We also call them MayPops. They set fruit on some of the vines, they must be male and / or female vines. The fruit is editable but its hard to catch they at the right time. They also grow well in England where the fruit is very commonly eaten. -
I have some of this, I don't know the name though. Mine does get little red berries also. I am trying to get it grow up a trellis. It can get invasive so I have to watch it carefully. I got it from my brothers house and he has a lot of it. It can also make good ground cover. -
It's not a maypop/passion flower...I have them...they look like this...only bigger...trust me...I know what a passion flower looks like... -
i agree with Melissa, Dog Strangling vine -
Looks like a type of passion vine to me me too. Have you tried you local extension office?? -
Beautiful!!! LOL -
This is CLEMATIS " vitcella " -
Any one know what this is? It stands about 3 ft high. Grows in clumps.-

@ Micki M photo; Solomon's seal (Polygonatum) -
Not Toad Lily--looks like a variety of wild clematis -
It is different than dog strangling vine as well--the flowers are not the same and the leaves a a bit different..so--rule that out!
-
I agree with Sharon...I don't think it is the same....It seems very clematis in nature...leaves ect...the blooms are very tiny look like a passion flower bloom...but very "thick" and "waxy" like a hoya bloom...I think a clematis...passion flower and hoya all got together and had a Ménage à Trois....lol
-
And no...I haven't tried the extension office...but I may do that...but around here....the county agents specialize mostly in animals...because animals show competitions are big here.
-
Ooooh. I think you're correct, Sharon. Now that I look at it again, it doesn't appear to be Tricyrtis. -
my first thought is night shade. Does it have berries(purple). If so get rid of it.As it is toxic to both people and animals when injested.. -
Shooting Stars -
So, did we ever get to the bottom of this?
-
LOL...Doesn't appear that we have. It is Clematis viticella. (MG)
-
It is Purple Passion. I have it & where ever a stem breaks off it starts growing. Attracts butterflies! -
I'm gonna look up the shooting stars....that sounds like the only lead I HAVEN'T ruled out yet!
-
Okay....it's not a shooting star....I actually HAVE a shooting star in my house...now that I've seen They bloom white...not purple
-
Okay..doug...I looked up the matelea biflora...Man...that bloom is REALLY close...but no...the leaves on mine are not hairy and they are more long and slender also...where that matelea has more of a tri-type leaf
-
I would try taking a cutting to your local Cooperative Extension service. Maybe there is some local variant of Matelea biflora. -
Periploca graeca (silk vine) fam. Asclepiadaceae, native to south-east Mediteranean, not Greece as the name suggests, more likely Croatia.
