    Can anyone help me to identify what type of vine this is? It is extremely fast growing.

    I thought so, too, but the leaf doesn't match up to any examples of Ipomoea that I can find. Here's a pic of the leaf.

    I'm curious about this myself. I took some pictures of unidentified Ipomoea myself today, but the leaves were a more standard heart shape. Otherwise, except for indistinct differences in the Anthers (probably just pollen), the flower looks identical.

    Alamo Vine, Merremia dissecta I believe.

    Looks to me like saltcedar has it. It would even validate the differences in the ovary region I spoke of as more than just blurry pollen.
