Have not tended to my front flower beds in at least 2 summers. Time to suck it up and make them pretty again. My excuse for not working today? I don't know what these two vine like plants are. One is on the mail box post and the other on the dish post...It has been suggested that this maybe a form of Wisteria?

Looks like a yellow star fish :)

Take a branch of each to your local extension program. They know everything about plants and soil in your area! If you can't find that, take those cuttings to your local nursery (not WalMart or some other chain). In other words, find a reputable, preferably Master, gardener or nursery.

I'm going to go with canola for the yellow one (just a guess). The purple one I can't see the flowers clearly from the picture, there are too many greens tangled together. The purple flowers look rather bluebell-ish but the leaves I can see are definitely not right.

The yellow flowering plant appears to be Saint Johns Wort and the purple appears to be a Hairy Vetch.

I would guess it to be a prickly pickle vine (wild cucumber).
