Neat! Do you ever save the seeds from this vine? If you do, I'd be interested in trading for some.

This plant is not in my yard. I saw it driving down a street. It was planted outside a business. Next time I go by there, I'll grab a few if they are ready to be picked. :o)

OH! Sounds good to me! I've done that "rustling" thing before. I find if I ask the businesses if I can harvest some of the seeds, they always say fine, help yourself. But some times, I don't bother to ask!

Actually the plant is near the street-side sidewalk in a strip center parking lot. It must never receive any extra water or attention which amazes me because until recently we had not received much rain.
