Identity of Invasive Vine

Chickie · 08-26-2009, 09:36 AM

I have been trying to identify a vine, which has been growing wild on my property for several years. It is rather invasive and can climb as much as ten feet up a tree. It has lavender (mauve) flowers, which look like small pine cones, are about 1–2 inches in diameter and bloom in August. They have a rather unpleasant fragrance, which tends to permeate the whole area when in bloom. The leaves are elongated, with smooth edges and grow in five to seven clusters along the stem.

Can anyone help me put a name to this stuff?
