this is a very young plant



Forming seed pods on this vine. They remind me a little of unripe cherry tomatoes. Large seed pods!

This vine is well-behaved for me in a small pot. It has become dwarfed because of the size of the pot.

Alamo Vine growing in Tucson, AZ. Seeds originally from Naco, AZ.

These are sprouting seeds of Merremia dissecta

Found these growing along a fence around an empty lot in the middle of town, doing remarkably well for no care, no water, and alongside a roadway.

Specimen grown at Wilhelma, Stuttgart
