The plant


The flowers


Any ideas?

Heres another pic of the flowers...


The flowers are morning-glory like,but,I've never seen them this small and in clusters The leaves are also larger than any morning-glory I've ever seen and very silky feeling.

This is really starting to drive me NUTS

YEEHAW!!!!

Thnaks to nritya,I figured out what it is. It's a cousin to the common morning glory. It's called hairy clustervine

Cool...think this one will be a keeper It has gotten huge and looks fabulous covered in the tiny blue flowers

G-Mom

Save me some!
Please.....

You are first in line my friend

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY Nritya!!!!
Way to go!!!!
Thanks for jumpin' in..
Love it when every one can come together
and figure out a mystery!!!!

It was quite a coincidence that she helped me figure it out. I had Pm'd her regarding vines for her new shed. When she replied she mentioned a vine she was going to get. When I googled it,it turned out to be my Mystery Vine!

Doesn't this world work in strange ways?

hi gmom! wow! glad you figured out the name of it lol! can you spare some seeds for me? do the seedpods look like morning glory seed pods?

hi gmom,
I am so glad you were able to identify your mystery vine. Actually I hadn't read this topic earlier.It is only today that I saw the pictures and it is exactly the same plant that I have got.The plant seems to be fast growing and is also enjoying the sun here.I was told that it would bloom througout the year. All the best!

Way to go nritya !! That was a good mystery!
