Please Help Name This Vine.

I'm curious to know if anyone can tell me what kind of vine this is. It's growing underneath a large cedar tree ( 40'H x 25' W) in central Oklahoma. I mowed a ton of these vines about 3 weeks ago and this is what had already grown back.I'm trying to decide whether to attempt transplanting the vines or if they just need sprayed and mowed. My kids like to play under and climb this tree and the mess of vines gives to nice of snake habitat to let stay. If it's something nice looking or beneficial for bees/wildlife I'll transplant.Thanks.

I'm trying. Pic is on my phone and the site keeps freezing when uploading the photo. Houzz really needs to work on their mobile site because I didn't even see an option to add the photo directly when posting via mobile.

Looks like a mandevilla, sometimes called dipladenia. The blooms are usually pink, red, or white. Yours is striped, so I think it's a fairly new variety called 'Stars and Stripes'. I don't think they're ever yellow....the man you talked to may have been thinking of an Allamanda, which is a different genus, but a vine in the same family. It also has five lobes to its flowers. People in my area (SW Indiana, zone 6) grow mandevilla as a summer annual, but lose them with the first hard frost. I don't know of them coming back after even an average winter. I'd keep it on a sunporch and not try to overwinter it outdoors since they are subtropical.

The vines are not spiky, it is not a Brazilian MG which I also have... And like Remy said, the Erowid MG are either I.tricolor or I. violacea with heart-shaped leaves that have smooth edges.. So it is none of those .. Just in case in matters, I received the seeds from my ex-neighbour who brought it back from South Africa.... Any other suggestions to what it might be ?

Thanks birchlog01. I did my search and it seams difficult to tell from the three other leaves - I will wait for the flowers to come out in order to ID each vine.

jean, I don't have a newly initiated post where I am the OP to check...it's been that kind of post the one hour rule refers to, not the responding to one of those posts. The responses and comments can be edited for a week, just not the original query. Oh wait, now that I've typed that I did have a post with a new subject line in Cooking from Friday. I just checked, no Edit option since I was the original - the originator of the subject ;)

Here's another picture of the vine. I wasn't sure if it was honeysuckle or not because of the oak leaf shaped leaves on the vine. I take it dbarron isn't a fan of the stuff? It does grow like crazy.

Thanks Floral and dbarron. Did some more research (google searching anyway) and found that according to UMass Amherst and Missouri State, both leaf shapes occur on the same vines of the stuff. I had no clue that could happen. Anyway, thanks for the help and your time.

Sadly, trying to get rid of it is as close to a hopeless task as there is in gardening. Good luck!
