Vine #6    Crossvine 

I found this vine covering a mailbox on Summer Grove near the intersection with Morning grove (East of Sanga Rd. in Cordova). The leaves have veins branching from a central vein so they are definitely not clematis that has more parallel veins. The tendrils are also finer than clematis tendrils. I have not been able to find a matching image and the description of vines from the southeast do not seem to match it very closely. If you know what this vine is please leave a comment. I did ask some friends of ours who live near it and drive by it every day if it flowers and what color the flowers are. (see below for the answer)

My friend John went back and found a flower on July 17, 2015.

Back to give some perspective

This finally allowed me to identify this vine as crossvine from the trumpet-creeper family. Thanks John. For a mailbox vine this seems superior to clematis that is forever falling over onto the ground.
