Ok everyone, point your browsers to http://www.crsales.com/whatisit.htm
and take a look. We just noticed this vine around a trellis that also
has a Clematis on it. Although it is possible that it was there before,
we have never noticed it and sure would like to know what it is.

Please note the seed pods.....it is not a Clematis, is it?

Your expertise would be appreciated.

Definitely hyacinth bean. Collect the pods after they turn brown and dry on
the vine and plant in the late spring outside or start inside in late
winter. I remove the beans from the dry pods and soak in warm water over
night before planting. They like the heat. The pods on mine are starting
to dry now.
