I"ve never seen one of those vines before. It's so pretty! Where did you find it? I found a "new to me" vine this morning on my walk. It has small purple flowers like a snapdragon vine but the leaves are different. Still trying to i.d. it! Always something new in God's garden!
I bought it at a native plant sale in Boerne last year (vendor was Natives of Texas in Medina.....just looked back on my blog). Oooooo, send me a photo of your mystery plant!!
This vine showed up along my house last summer. It really is pretty, but boy does it grow fast. Mine has a milky white substance that leaks out each time a piece of the vine breaks. Does yours? I only ask because I've seen many images on Google searches that look exactly like mine only they have a clear substance, so I wasn't real sure if that's what I actually had. Do you know the best way to get this vine to grow in other places in my yard? Thinking about trying to grow it up some trellises for privacy in my backyard. Thanks Jen jennifierdotcools at yahoo dot com
Sorry for the late reply, Anonymous....the milky substance confirms that your vine is a milkweed species. Have you collected seeds? That'd be one good way to start new vines. Milkweeds can be prolific seeds producers. My pearl milkweed vines sure have been this summer!
