eirlys1 Chiefland, FL (Zone 9a) November 24, 2009 03:09 PM	Found this vine growing up a small bush by my front fence in Chiefland, Florida. The picture shows one yellow flower open, and a large yellow bud. There are many more little buds on the vine. Sure hope it isn't one of those invasive strangler vines. Any help in this ID is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Eirlys View Larger
nifty413 North Central, TX (Zone 8a) November 24, 2009 03:24 PM	Appears to be Gelsemium sempervirens. Not invasive. In fact, considered a threatened/endangered species in TN. http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=GESE
