    Found this vine type plant next to the cabbage palm and have no idea what it is. There are several orange fruit type things growing on it. Thanks for any help.

    I just cut open the orange fruit and inside there is 17 very red seeds - hope this helps to identify the plant. Thanks again for any help.
