Millettia Reticulata... by marlboromaam

Millettia Reticulata...

Finally identified. Whew! I'll not forget it now. It was bought over 10 years ago and I thought it would never take hold and grow, but now it covers the back fence like crazy! Why are cultivated hybrid varieties so hard to identify. All I remembered is that it's some hybrid of a wisteria. Called an evergreen wisteria (although it's neither), it is non-invasive and the pollinators love it!

It’s a fantastic colour, whatever it is!

A few months ago,I learned about an app I have found *very* helpful: LeafSnap. Open the app > take a photo > select the plant part you photographed and the app will give you the possible matches. Also, it works "after the fact": instead of taking a photo, you can upload a photo from your phone. (This is how I was reminded that my post today was Lungwort!)

@ljmanning Thank you, Laura!

@rhoing Won't download anymore apps to my phone. Got too many spam texts and calls I didn't recognize. Google's plant ID works the same way, but it has NOT provided me with the right plant yet. You can use it on your desktop and upload your pics to it. https://plant.id/new_identification

@marlboromaam I downloaded the posted image and used LeafScan. The best fit for this image seems to be a tree, Andira inermis in the Fabaceae family. Check out some images of flowering shoots and see if they don't match your specimen. (Do the leaves in the photo belong to the same plant as the flowers?)
August 7th, 2021  
@rhoing Yes - those leaves belong to the vine. The vine has covered the back of the fence and the azalea bushes.

It’s certainly a beautiful colour, whatever it is.
August 7th, 2021  
@rhoing Wisteria belongs to the same family.
August 7th, 2021  
@rhoing Nope. Not it! LOL!

Such a nice sense of movement because of the directions here.
August 8th, 2021  
O boy, sometimes it so hard to find the match. I tried for you, my search gets as close as the KUDZU plant. See Kudzu Flower Japanese Arrowroot plant. Good luck. And oh, I find this a beautiful plant and great shot.

Beautiful vine, I hope you have success finding the name.

It's a gorgeous colour. It's most frustrating when you cannot identify a plant.

@k9photo Lonchocarpus is a closer direction, but my plant is a vine and not a tree. Thanks to you, I have another direction to go searching for it.
August 8th, 2021  
Lovely colour and capture. Sorry I have no idea. Try asking Tony Gig he might know.
