    This is a fast growing "vine". It is relatively shiney. It's taking over my porch and now in my flower bed. Any clue?

    that's it!! thank you so much. I noticed it creeping up my house last year and this year is taking over. Never noticed any flowers last year though. Should I let it grow and just cut it back? I just noticed that is entwined in a bush... or try and get rid of it. I'd prefer it not take over my house. Any suggestions are welcome. I'm just getting my green thumbs!

    you'll have to cut it off right above ground and do a series of soakings with round-up.

    Use the pop can, sunk into the ground, and Roundup method - will kill the entire vine in about a week.
