This plant came to me as a hitchhiker in an orchid pot. I thought it was pretty and let it live. It began coming up in lots of my orchid pots and then moved out into other pots. I am still happy with it but have started to wonder if I have unleashed a kudzu wonder. A little checking seemed to indicate that it hails from Australia.
