Leaves little bigger than other ones seen.....around 5-6 inches across.

There are lot of difference between a CREEPER and a CLIMBER.
Creeper is always grows horizontally and remains prostrate.
Climber climbs up...
This is a climber and it has tendrils too.

Some Fotos from our garden. (2009, Okt.). In fact the climber climbs up
the wall of our neighbours garage but a lot of it peeps in our garden too.
The colors are still changing, this year a bit late. I have more
Pictures of this climber but shall send them, when I have more time.
Aarti Ji, perhaps your mouth is watering again. But in that case you
should be here for the whole year.

Regards
Nalini

Thanks Pankaj ji
I was waiting for someone to write this at some point of time.
It is a common error in many posts.
Can't comment about ID though esp without knowledge of local flora and without flowers

Satish ji

Very Common in temperate climates. You may have missed but common in California also.

Generally used as a curtain over older boundary walls or even building walls.

Dear all,

Thanks for the id.

Pankaj ji....I was not aware of the difference between a creeper, climber and a vine.

Can you please give me some examples of a creeper when time permits?

Nalini ji....Looks like I'll have to think of a trip to your place sometime soon.
