    I have been wracking my brain in attempting to identifying these plants in my yard. Can you help me?

    Thank you! It's been driving me nuts for 10 years. They are growing wild in my back yard and are soo pretty in the winter when the leaves turn white.

    A straight-on view of #3 would be helpful.

    To estimate the size, imagine that the entire picture is about 1 sq foot in size. The leaves and small blooms seem delicate and fragile, but they are really hardy and seem to climb like a vine.
