Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

A North American Native,
Found in New Mexico, Oklahoma & Texas.
Drought tolerant, Frost Hardiness ?, and a member of the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae)
My first guess as to origin of this was Madagascar,
This one grows over several windows in the greenhouse and makes a nice alternative to shade cloth.

A recent photo,
These plants are normally diocecious, and can be only propagated by seed. I was experimenting this year and was able to get a couple new plants started by using a piece of the vine during active blooming
( They don't look like much yet , but there is a 1/2" caudex just under the surface. )

Now that they are growing, the leaf shape has reverted back to the juvenile form. ( as compared to the deeply lobed form of the parent plant)

The rooted piece seems to be growing just fine ( flowering too! )
Start of a caudex,

Allen,
Thanks, this was from cuttings taken last fall
The parent plant is probably around 15-20 years old, going to try and get some more started as soon as it warms up a bit.

Aaron,
I am not too sure, here is a link to a distribution map. With a native population reported in southern Oklahoma they may be tolerant of some frost.

Dean,
These may be native to your area, if you ever run across any, let me know!
( looking for some habitat info, soil types, if the caudex is shaded, etc, etc, maybe some photos too.........

Steve, is this it? http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result ... plant=IBLI
If so I've seen it growing before in the woods.

Dean,
Yes, that is the one!
If you happen to run across any, some habitat photos would be great
(curious as to caudex sizes, spacing, and how much direct sun they are exposed too)
Thanks,

Here's another one that was started from a cutting several months ago,

Propagation
Progress of one of the cuttings from last year,
Everything I've read suggest the only way to propagate these is by seed. (needing a male & female plant for pollination)
If anyone else has knowledge, or access to these, would be curious to know if vine cuttings are rooting from other plants.
I wait until blooms are starting, cut about a 6" length, then just bury a few nodes under the soil. (leaving the leaves attached to supply some energy & reserve)
After about a month, the old leaves drop off and new growth starts.

Hey Steve:
Yes, that looks like the one I saw before. The foliage is very similar as I recall. It was growing atop a wild persimmon tree as I remember. I wouldn't think you would have to water them very much? Central Texas is pretty semi-arid in the area it was growing was very, very rocky (limestone).
Cheers,
Dean

Dean, These are very drought tolerant, too much water is a bigger problem than not enough.
Here's the parent, it seems to do better when I ignore it

Steve, how'd they do in your summer heat? They must've covered the greenhouse entirely.
Very very cool looking.
