One day last summer while exploring I came across an entire field covered with a vine. It was thickly coating all of the other vegetation and I was amazed how it had taken over the area. The leaves are star-shaped, resembling Maple leaves and it holds onto everything in its path with a twirling white tendril that is quite attractive. Before the white flowers open, they too are star-shaped. The bees especially seemed to love this plant, landing on the small flowers with bee baskets on their hind legs full of pollen.
Here are some photos:
Can you identify this vine? Have you seen it on a property near you, or on your own property? If you know its identity, use the comment box below to give your guess. I’d love to hear from you!
Have a great weekend!
Wild Cucumber?
Sounds so nice
Yes, it does sound nice. But is it really?
