If it is what I think it is, I think I sent you the seeds didn't I?  Isn't it chilean Glory vine?

AKA Eccremocarpus (sic!) can have red/yellow/orange flowers, watch those large seed pods when they have flowered, if it likes your garden it will mount a take over bid!

Yup, every year I oik it out as I grow it alongside a honeysuckle, and every year is comes back at about 68mph!  Pulled a load out earlier in the week - it seems to like it rough!  :-X

I have one trying to strangle one of my dwarf pomegranates, seeded itself into the pot, the foliage contrast is quite stunning!

Sorry to encroach on your thread Gw, but I note saddad that you grow pomegranates.  I have had one in a pot for years and have had very few flowers, except for about 6 years ago when it had a mass of flowers, but hardly any since.  Does yours flower, and if so, do you feed it with anything in particular?  I just tend to use the old tomato feed for most things :)  Photo attached.
