Wow. Carol23 I think you may have nailed it. I've been comparing photos and I'll look for more, but that is looking like the answer. I don't think I would have come across that - you have my sincere thanks and the lady who has this will probably want me to pass along hers as well. Ging

I found it, it's cardinal vine, i think another name cypress vine. Red flowers, maybe hummingbird vine but that name seems to cover a lot of vines in this category. Anyone have one? And I'm not sure my sister mentioned pods or not, but I'll keep my eye out for seeds for sure. I hope it blooms soon so I can get some seeds, summer will be winding down soon, although..90 degrees today thru Wednesday!!

If you could give a good look at the flowers that might improve results.

This is growing in a mostly shady spot getting filtered sunlight.
