My mom and I both had multicolor cypress vine growing last year, and I collected a ton of of seeds and froze them. I planted them this spring, and I now have vines, but...not what I was expecting. The leaves are no where near as whispy as cypress vine normally is, and it's growing much more aggressively than I remember (it's currently got a foot of growth above the lattice and it's headed towards my house, some is already laced in my shutters). Can anyone tell me what type of vine this is? Is it a weird mutation of a cypress? No blooms yet, the red flowers in the picture are petunia that my neighbor gave me, I had no room for them anywhere else so I threw them in when I planted my seeds.

Hmmmm....not a clue, but
Hmmmm....not a clue, but sometimes plants from seeds are 'different' from the plants that are cloned and/or grafted. For example, pomegranate trees grown from the seeds of a pomegranate often won't fruit (for some reason that I've not been able to ascertain). Could be that cypress vines are the same way--some sort of 'hybrid' with seeds that revert to one or the other plants gone to 'make' them.
