Title: ID of flower please
Post by: HCS on September 12, 2015, 16:33:26

It grows in our garden, but we have no clue what it is. Mothers (in-law) typically know such stuff, but not this time.

It bears fruits, but this is the first year it bears so many, like a dozen or so.

First a detail, then more of the entire plant (against our fence). Thanks for your help.

My sister used to work for a site/app that you could upload pictures for identification... its called Garden Compass. I don't know how wide their breadth of knowledge is, nor do i know if it is free or paid.

My sister came back with:
I didn't recognize it, but I'm pretty sure it's Chocolate vine, Akebia quinata. http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=a149
