I changed the page and forgot to update the link.

Here is the link to the vine
http://tgdye.myphotoalbum.com/view_a...umName=album12

With help from another poster I have narrowed the id to
Celastrus orbiculatus (Oriental bittersweet).

Thanks for the information.


Well, from the photos I think this vine is actually
Euonymus fortunei, a reasonably close relative of
Celastrus.

[I vaguely recall a recent ID question here
about these same two species.]
