Please help me. I have this monster vine growing up my porch. The leaves are scalloped and look like snowflakes and it has white blooms with reddish centers. It set seed pods that look like baby plums before it even began to bloom, and it is growing a mile a day.I can't find it anywhere that I've searched. Hope someone out there knows just what this is. Thanks in advance.

A monster of a vine is Akebia, and one form has white flowers with red.

Except for the flower color the description doesn't sound like an akebia but you're right. It can be a monster!

Alamo vine, I think.It's a morning glory. This is really pretty and grows incessantly. Merremia dissecta?

If the vine you have is alamo vine, be aware - it spreads by runners and seeds and will over-run EVERYTHING in its path!
