Will do! I'm planning on training it to an arbor so I can use the ground under it :)

Your welcome. Sounds like some new stuff floated your way. Keep an eye out for the flowers next year, kind of a nice smell to them.

Thank you! I did some research and that's exactly what it was! I didn't see any fruits. Just the pods in the picture. I've never seen it before, but we flooded out this past spring and I've seen several new plants!

Cool spotting. Pretty sure about the ID. Did you see any fruits around?
