This vine came with a rose that was given to me, and it is going wild. Thanks John Attachments: ![]() |

I believe it's Ipomoea, John. Perhaps I. indica (I. acuminata Blue Dawn Flower) or hederifolia (more weed-like). Both have variable leaf shapes. |

I'm leaning more toward Ipomoea hederifolia, Scarlet Morning Glory. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/FW020 (if spaces in URL remove them) |

It also looks like the plain green version of Ampelopsis brevipedunculata. |

I agree with Told2b. Porcelain berry vine Very pretty, but extremely invasive. |

Yes, Ampelopsis could be it. I hadn't considered that one, as I don't see them around here. I thought the vines were thicker & had a knotty look at the nodes with the leaves, though. |

I have always thought of the leaves as bird-shaped. Headless, but bird-shaped nonetheless. Attachments: ![]() ![]() |

Yes, told2b, your pic is what I have. Should I pull it? Thanks John |

I have one variegated vine in my yard for the past 7 years. I like the look of it but it is a pain tracking down and pulling all the new volunteers each season. The berries have yet to get bigger than a pea. And yet I still enjoy this thug. |
