Mystery plant

Hello,

This plant has bristle-y, squarish stems. It sprawls and climbs and as you can see, it's huge.

Thanks for your help,
Diane

RE: Mystery plant

Wow. Diane, my first thought was a wild strawberry, until I noticed your foot in there and realized how big those leaves are, lol! Sorry, I can't help ID, even though it does look familiar.

I think there is a plant ID forum here. Maybe someone there can help.

RE: Mystery plant

I believe it`s a "hop vine", I have some growing here. They can be invasive and can cover buildings if it`s left untouched. Mine is going into the second year and I`m hoping it will cover one side of my patio. The birds like to nest in it and feed from the many feeders close by.i have it planted in a spot where no other plants or trees grow because it will choke out plants nearby.
Hope this helps.
