This vine popped up by itself (glad I didn't pull it up) and is now blooming. The blooms are small light pink (the photo was taken this afternoon, the color has faded). I googled corkscrew and snail vine, but it doesn't quite look right.
What is this vine?
Hi there,Is this your vine?

It looks like Apios americana to me.
well it looks like my sweet-pea, are those pea pods hanging down?
It is Strophostyles helvula (Trailing Wild Bean.)

dolichos lablab vine also has purple and white varieties.
It is the mg that Karoke mentioned. I have collected these seeds in Delaware where they grow wild. I keep saving the seeds annually. It is a charming little vine and reminds me of the last time we were in Delaware. Anyone have some Apios americana seeds or potatoes they could share? Thanks.
Remy, yes, that's them! Thank you.
I just gave all my Apios away, but should have more in a couple of weeks. You can have them for an s.a.s.e. Just send it to my address (in the DG address book), along with your DG NAME and your real name and WHAT I am to send you.
