Mystery #2, What is this?

8 years ago

This was growing next to the basement window cover, I moved it to where something died (didn't make it through the winter). I am so happy to see it flourish, but after that Nightshade discovery, I am not so sure. This is facing East and gets a lot of sun.

That close up shows just 3 of the 5 leaflets.
Please post another picture which also shows if leaves are alternate or opposite on the stem.

Here are links to pictures if you can't use the first link... Sorry, I haven't figured out how to make these clickable... you can copy and paste them. Also, just to reiterate, the grass-like plant from the bulbs has *never* grown a flower, just the green grass. Thanks in advance! http://images.photo2.walgreens.com/232323232%7Ffp5337%3B%3Enu%3D3248%3E%3A37%3E8%3C%3B%3EWSNRCG%3D35%3A9333374325nu0mrj http://images.photo2.walgreens.com/232323232%7Ffp5337%3A%3Enu%3D3248%3E%3A37%3E8%3C%3B%3EWSNRCG%3D35%3A933335%3B325nu0mrj http://images.photo2.walgreens.com/232323232%7Ffp53399%3Enu%3D3248%3E%3A37%3E8%3C%3B%3EWSNRCG%3D35%3A932%3A%3B5%3A325nu0mrj http://images.photo2.walgreens.com/232323232%7Ffp53399%3Enu%3D3248%3E%3A37%3E8%3C%3B%3EWSNRCG%3D35%3A9333362325nu0mrj http://images.photo2.walgreens.com/232323232%7Ffp53494%3Enu%3D3248%3E%3A37%3E8%3C%3B%3EWSNRCG%3D35%3A932%3A%3B62325nu0mrj http://images.photo2.walgreens.com/232323232%7Ffp53487%3Enu%3D35%3A8%3E%3B%3C7%3E547%3E2699%3B%3C7638234ot1lsi http://images.photo2.walgreens.com/232323232%7Ffp53389%3Enu%3D35%3A8%3E%3B%3C7%3E549%3E2699%3B%3C763%3A234ot1lsi Here is a link that might be useful: grass from bulbs

The next set of leaves will surely aid the ID. Without those, I'd guess maybe a grape seedling. I've got tons of bird-planted ones sprouting in my gardens now and they look pretty similar. FataMorgana

That Kermit the Frog is adorable, Denise. Sharon, Dischidias are relatives of Hoya, from the same plant family. Some plants were even moved from one genus to the other and some others in the opposite direction - so even botanists are confused at times. Their flowers tend to be less spectacular than Hoyas', because they open only partly, but they may compensate by interesting leaves or growing habits. They often grow alongside Hoyas, both in nature and in our gardens and plant stands. :-)

Leaves appear to be opposite. Any Ash trees in the vicinity? Can you show the stem and some buds/leaf attachments?

On the other hand it almost looks as if it has a vining habit. Does it?
