    My son sent me photos of a very large vine at a friends place in Michigan. Any idea what it is? (my kids think I can ID any plant they send me a picture of! You guys are my secret weapon!) It almost looks like there might be two different vines in there!

    I think I'm seeing what we call "Virginia Creeper" in there. I have one and I love it. I just transplanted a few babies along the ugly old back fence. I sure hope they grow and do their thing!!

    I think there are a few different vines in there. I see Virginia Creeper, Grape leaves, and what might be a Bittersweet vine. I wish I could make the photo bigger to get a better look!

    But I thought Virginia Creeper was in there and IO see where one might be grape leaves. Not as familiar with Bittersweet.

    I was able to increase the size by using zoom in on Safari under view. It magnifies quite a lot and stays clear
