Looks like a Cynanchum; a type of Milkweed.

Thanks for the photo link and the additional suggestion. Definitely in the milkweed family.

Araujia sericifera was my first impression, too. But after comparing the above photos to my photos...

...it appears the pods in my photos aren't nearly as pointed as the pods in your mystery plant.

Hello MissMary, I have some of those . The climb up my fence into an Oak tree. I don't think I have ever seen it bloom. So i guess those blooms are small but those dag gum pods aren't small. gillions of babys can come from those things.
