| First I'd like to say I'm sorry I can't show you a picture. I'll put a link for a paint picture I drew but it is not a great picture. I don't have a scanner so... I used painta nd I'm not great at paint.Second, I'll give you a description of the flower. It is a vine I think. It has pretty tendrils. It's leaves have three points and the flower is purple. it has many very skinny petals that stick out like, for lack of a better word, spikes around the circumference of the flower and then there are oval petals underneath those.
Here is the link. And the picture isn't good so please don't laugh. : )
Btw, I found it near some woods in Georgia.

| That's a very good drawing! I'm 98% sure it's clematis (or alt. spelling clemetis). They can spread by seed, so your found plant may have been from what I call "a gift of the birds." The fun part of bird-gifts is that you never know just what you will get. Clematis ranges from about 2' to more than 10' in height, depending on the variety - and there are hundreds of varieties :) |

| Passionflower has those stamens that stick out in front... I think it would have been drawn if there. But maybe they aren't as noticeable at some stage. Guess I'll have to grow a passiflora and find out. |

| Perhaps it's a 'cross' (just kidding), with Clematis flowers and passion vine leaves. lol |
