    Both of these are vines I have growing on my fence. The flowering vine is beginning to wrap itself around my banana tree. Should I be worried about that? Any help on identifying these two vines would be greatly appreciated.

    The first one might be Muscidine, Vitus rotundifolia, but I don't see the characteristic leaves.
    The second one with red flowers...
    Cypress Vine
    Ipomoea quamoclit
    Family - Convolvulaceae

    The Cyprus Vine can get so dense that it kills the plant under it... I have had it happen several times to different plants... it can get invasive!
