Thanks Cat!

*grin*

It is attractive, I think I'll keep it. Does it grow large?

Not really, no ; I think that mine's all of ~3' tall and shrubby ; If
you give it something to climb, it'll happily do that, though.

To quote Richters:

BITTERSWEET
Solanum dulcamara

Perennial
Uses: medicinal poisonous
Sow No:13

A perennial, shrubby plant found in moist areas in the eastern and
north-central Americas and in Europe. The flowers are bluish-purple tint
in loose, drooping clusters. The scarlet, bitter berries hang on the vine
for months after the leaves have fallen and give the plant an attractive
appearance in autumn. Ointment made with chamomile is effective for
swellings, bruises, sprains and corns. Combined with curled dock it helps
skin diseases. Also used for chronic bronchial irritations, asthma and
whooping cough. Caution: Use only with supervision: can cause paralysis
and respiratory failure.

cheers!

flowers.
Can someone please help us identify this?
