    This is growing up the side of my house, I thought it was Morning Glory until it bloomed. Does anyone know what it is? It smells like a combination of Lilac and Hyacinth. Thanks!

    I would REALLY like to know what this is. I've had to fight with it for years growing up and over and through the neighbor's fence. Gets big ol' seed pods on it that look for all the world like milkweed. Leaves like a morning glory but flowers not. ???

    Just checked the info provided by Luddite, above. That's IT! Cynanchum laeve. No wonder the pods/seeds looked like milkweed! Thanks. ---And ekp (fellow Buckeye!) is being kind when she describes its aroma.
