Topic: another plant id question

[grawrc]

I was given this plant as a seedling with the tag "mystery plant" and like Topsy it has growed and growed and is now pretty large. It is really annoying me because I ought to know what it is but can't put a name to it. It's a climber/ trailer/ sprawler and has two different types of leaves as you will see in the photos. (fingers crossed x).

It's driving me daft!!! I know I have grown this before but just can't place it. ::)

Boston ivy maybe (Parthenocissus tricuspidata)?

Thanks Simon. I think it is probably some kind of vine - it doesn't have the sticky pads of Boston ivy but tendrils.  I can see where you're coming from though.  I suppose I should really ask the person who gave it to me!!

If the person who gave it to you knew the name, surely they wouldn't have labelled it 'Mystery Plant'  :)

I haven't a clue what it is, but I hope you find out soon  ;)

Has it two different leaf forms? Your photos seem to suggest this.

Is it evergreen or is it changing colour now autumn is here?

I guess it's an outside plant. How much growth has it made since you had it and has it produced any flowers or berries?

Not Virginia creeper. Perhaps a type of Boston Ivy as Unwashed suggests.

Whatever it is it certainly looks healthy
