Hi everybody,

this vine somehow seeded itself and climbed up an hibiscus which had to be cut back (it died in an unusual frost last winter).

Anyways- I left it a branch to climb and would like to know what it is! it keeps on blooming!

thanks in advance

Dory,
Looks like you might be right, we have another variety here that blooms non-stop through the summer it is winter hardy though. The berries, leaves, roots are poisonous so be careful if you have children around.
Where in Isreal are you located? I spent a lot of time there when I was a flight attendant for Tower Air.
