The flowers are morning-glory like,but,I've never seen them this small and in clusters Duh 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 grinnnn

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?

G-Mom grinnnn

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! smile
Way to go nritya !! That was a good mystery!
Duh thumbup
