Hi! I'm going crazy trying to identify this vine that is coming up all over in my pots! Its huge leaves, purple vine, starts out with black balls that turn into green clusters with purple tips. Those eventually vine off to create bigger lg pea sized clusters of green with purple clumps of balls. No luck after hours of research! Ive tossed lots of seeds in pots, but nothing matches! I have angel trumpet TREES overhead? Going crazy! These grow FAST lk potato vines & strangle everything. Pretty tho! Thank u!!

Ahhh! Can't upload a pic! Plant is the bane of my existence!

When you say you can't upload a picture do you mean you don't have one or don't know how to. If the latter click on the photo icon below the message box. It's very easy. Please also tell us where you are situated geographically. And what are these 'balls'? Buds? Berries?

Have you reported this to the mods? I've never had any trouble uploading photographs. Can you run through what you are doing? I've just tried again. Click on the photo icon. Open your photo folder on your computer. Dbl click on the photo you want to post and it appears in the message. (BTW this is swan paddling though Ranunculus aquatilis on the infant River Thames.)

Hi again! Beautiful picture! :) TY! I'm using my phone to do this. I just tried to post a pic straight by taking the picture and it just goes back to the main page. Whenever I try to either take a pic or upload, I get the 4 options to use camera, camcorder, voice recorder or documents. My pics r in the documents and I've tried to just post from the camera, but it goes straight back to the main question pg, like I haven't done anything,!! I'm wondering if I need to download something else? It's not letting me to the chrome extension,! I'll report now.

Sooo, the vines are ALL OVER, but now the bottom little "clusters", kind of like a giant blackberry & the bottom round parts, are turning black one by one! The tops r still green w purple tip. Doesn't smell like anything I know! My twitter handle is @DrBrittGalb & I've posted pics on there for help!! & IG, drbrittgalandlunablupom (drbrittandlunablu) Im new to it, so I'm not sure which name, lol.

Thank u SOO MUCH for ur help,! They are taking over everything now so I REALLY need to figure out if I should move them or not! Can't get to other blooming plants! Ttys! Britt

I don't have a smartphone and I don't do Twitter so I can't help with that. Do you have a PC or ipad or some other device? Can you put your phone pix onto that and then upload to GW? Without a picture your description doesn't really bring anything to mind. Maybe you can paint a better word picture for us? Certainly the little balls sound like fruit if they are changing colour. ANd if they are fruit there must have been flowers - so what did the flowers look like? How tall is this thing? What shape are the leaves and what size? We also need to know where you are geographically and your climate.
