Passionflower vine for sure.

She beat me to it X2

 

[Kassaundra]

Is this like what you have ?????









if so it is a
Melothria pendula or Creeping cucumber

That is it, thanks.

Just researched seems the fruit is very edible as long as it is green.

That is it, thanks.

your welcome, i have a friend that is very knowable about plants and she help me out.

i also asked her about the other one and she said it was passion vine also.

The vine Kass has is creeping cucumber...colloquial name. Some say it is edible. If cows won't touch it...I would not try it....mho.

Miohippus has passionflower vine. It grows wild in our pastures. It dies early if not watered. Birds leave it alone.

Oops...I see you already got the answers. Good sleuthing Watson.

Sounds like a perfect "no electricity" project- uh unless you wanted to use power tools!

That's the same vine I have, and from pics on the internet, wild cucumber was the only thing that looked close to it, but the pics weren't quite clear enough. How neat that you have passion flower growing wild. I wonder if it is an "escaped' plant or is actually a native? I planted it here some years ago, but it went away after only one or two years. It's so neat that our "community" here will work to answer questions of about any kind! Thanks.
