    Hello, Thankyou for replying. I will post again my thorny purple flowers vine. This was giving to me last year, already in a pot with some flowers on it and the owner did not know the name. I planted this vine in a bigger pot and tyed round a brick colummn in my front yard in Southern California, the climate here is what they call Mediterranean. (Maybe zone 9). I thought the vine is nightshade, bittersweet but unable to find a similar image.

    Answer

    Dear Ngaton, good morning. I'm sorry I can't assist you. You are located a long way from my area of expertise (northeastern North America). I suggest that you contact an organization closer to you that will have a familiarity with the species that grow in your region. I can help you locate one if you need assistance. Best wishes.
