Question
Hi - sorry for poor picture. I have never seen or heard of this plant in VT. Found it on top of small rocky hill above Lake champlain, Chittenden county VT, vine, growing up a rock face. Believe it is adlumia fungosa, Allegheny vine, but Newcomb's called it climbing fumitory. I would like to know how common it is.
Answer
Dear pxdougla@gmail.com, you have photographed Adlumia fungosa. While quite uncommon in parts of New England, it is frequent in many parts of Vermont, especially in the limestone bedrock regions of the state (which is where you photographed it). Best wishes.
