Strange Plant - can you help identify?

Its a definite creeper though..

Oh yes Moli - the whole thing had grown around our compost bins and up and over the shed roof - perhaps 20 ft long?

Hasnt anyone solved the mystery yet??? I am keeping out of it cos I no nothing about plants/weeds!!!

Moli · 13-08-2009, 08:45 PM

I cannot find it anywhere, even google weed vines..

angieh · 13-08-2009, 08:47 PM

I shall email my photos to the RHS tomorrow if no one comes up with anything this evening! I can't find it either. I think it is probably "foreign".

I've been Googling for over an hour with various search terms with no joy! Found lots of really weird vines with large tubers, but not this one. Does Kew Gardens by chance have a plant identification section?

Haven't given up yet, stubborn, but am going over to other forum for a bit to see what's happening there ......

Hundreds of species, looks very similar. However, I hope you fond what it is exactly.

It does look like those.....think you may well be right Dawn

Thanks for trying so hard everyone. As I said above I'm going to send my photos to the RHS tomorrow, might as well make use of my membership - see what they can come up with.
