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.

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 8) 8)

( 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)

Very cool, Steve.
The parent plant's leaves resemble a Pin Oak leaf.
How cool you're doing this!

BTW parent caudex looks like a cowpie 😆

Allen,
Thanks, this was from cuttings taken last fall 8)
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......... 😀
