This plant is driving me nuts- I don't know what it is and I can't seem to find it on the internet or in books. It is fast growing, spreads rapidly, not sure how large it gets but it is already up to low-shrub size. Beautiful purple flowers that bloom rarely (one cluster is all- out of many many plants) they only last a few days. There are green 'spikes' by the leaves, and red spines on the stem- they are prickly. I don't know if it is poison or not, keeper or not, anything...except it is everywhere.
In the yarden we have a lot of plants that are everywhere- it is botanical deathmatch between the vines- wisteria, Virginia creeper, English Ivy, Jessamine, something else I can't identify, honeysuckle, raspberries and wild roses. So far the wisteria is the hands-down winner, with jessamine a strong challenger. English Ivy rules the back where it is shady- and around the mailbox. Of course, yesterday I added morninglory and moonflower to the contenders- hopefully they will catch on quick. I love vines- and thus the appropriate name of our home: Tanglewood.
Any hints on this plant-please let me know! I am not writing much today because I spent all morning trying to figure it out again.... could spend all day, but no such luck- must go on to school.
