I have a small vine that is growing up through my Duranta "Sweet Memories" that I did not plant, so I have no idea what this vine is. It has very thin stems, 3 leaves at intervals and has small medium pink blooms that are similar to a diascia (twin spur). I see no tendrils, but this vine twines around the stems of the sweet memory.
Any ideas? thanks, Molly |

| Wow, Ruth you got it!!! I guess my seed came as a gift from a bird or as a stow-away in a puchased plant container. I see this plant had medicinal uses by the american indians so that is also interesting information. Thanks so much, as I would never have figured this one out. Molly |

| It is highly invasive, I have to pull them all the time, and never, NEVER let it seed. |

| Thanks, Carrie, I kind of figured it would be a thug. Molly |

| Too bad it's that invasive. It's looks like such a pretty little flower. |
