growing around town, like all over AnotherThyme in downtown Durham. Anyone know what these are? |

Possibly Carolina jasmine, aka Carolina jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens)? I haven't been by AnotherThyme recently... http://makeashorterlink.com/?D25D12C44 -- Tim trowles at rtmx dot net |

Yellow vines
I don't know about the scented flowers, but the vines sound like Carolina
Jessamine to me. I just discovered that the Jessamine that I thought had died because I "laid it down" so the deck could be re-stained had not, in fact, died, but had simply expended its energy sending runners under the deck, happily rooting along the way. I'm curious to see what happens now, after I cut off the"wayward, horizontal" parts and offered the plant a chance to grow vertically -- with support, even!

Sounds like Gelsemium sempervirens, which goes by a number of common
names, including Carolina Yellow-Jessamine, Carolina jasmine, etc., and a newly created name (from the USDA PLANTS database) evening trumpetflower. They have a wonderful rich, spicy scent. One of our most outstanding native vines. Here's a photo I took a few days ago: http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/trees/gese4295.jpg Neutopia wrote: I have seen these beautiful vineswith spicy scented yellow flowers growing around town, like all over AnotherThyme in downtown Durham.
