Today I'm curious about three plants on my District of Columbia
property, where my only gardening implements since I bought my
house have been shears, clippers and saws.

This vine seems to be blooming early this year. Both my wife and
I enjoy the fragrant flowers. The leaves are heart-shaped and a
little shiny -- I think that's what made the bluish areas in my
digital photo.

This vine is mixed in with the first. I like the subtle colors
of the berries.

These invade a flower bed in which my wife has tried to impose
more structure -- when she has time. Hey, it's her problem.
