Re: Name this Plant!! - I got it !!!! here's the name...

Howdy, 

I wrote to a man in England who is called "Plantsman" from the  
Plantsman Nursery.  Here is his answer....... 

Dear Connie, The plant/vine you sent me a pic of is called Paederia  
scandens and is a climbing deciduous woody vine from Asia. I have  seen 
it growing in 4 SE Asian countries including Northern  Thailand, 
Northern Burma, Northern Vietnam, Laos and China.    have been told it 
is common in Korea, Japan, Taiwan and other  countries. The leaves/roots
when crushed are smelling of rotten  meat and are rank in smell. This 
can become quite disgusting after  a while. It seems to grow well in 
places where there is a cool winter  and here in England,UK survives 20f
and a long Northern European  winter. Good Luck. Plantsman Nursery(UK)
