Can you identify this plant?

I'm helping my neighbor with his garden beds and am curious about what the plant in the foreground is. All he can tell me is that it is a climber.

(I planted the morning glory and Siberian iris myself.)

TIA

    No idea, but there’s an app called Seek that will tell you.

    Doesn't look like the type of plant I'd be interested in...

    I dont think so. They usually have more woodlike looking stems and pointier leaves.


    Mandivallia maybe, not sure. Do they know what it looks like when it blooms?

    Ya, not clematis. I looked up Mandevilla foliage and it doesn't look like that either.

    He thinks it has white flowers, but he is such a non-gardener that he wasn't sure.

    Hmm, possibly datura, yes, although the bottom leaves are less pointy.

    I guess I will wait and see what the flowers look like.

    Silver lace vine? It needs support and you did mention white flowers.

    Are the leaves waxy?

    My guess is a sweet pea. They come in all sorts of colors. My grandmother used to have them growing on a trellis on her front porch.

    Hey, I think you clematis guessers were right. I have a spring clematis and the leaves don't look like that, so I had ruled it out. However, I was at a garden center Sunday and they had a similar vine growing wildish and the guy said it was a fall clematis, and that the foliage is different. Also, the leaves have changed shape now that it is bigger.

    I guess I'll know for sure when it flowers!

    Alas, Seek did not work for this or what is probably a leek.
