Title: white-flowered evergreen twining vine
Post by: Diane Whitehead on June 27, 2020, 05:52:09 PM

This vine is growing at the base of an Irish yew, and has twined itself about four metres high.
It is in flower now.
The leaves are opposite, three cm long.

Thank you, Gerd.

I've looked it up and this is what I found:

"the most widespread and polymorphic of all the Euonymus species, found across the entirety of Asia"

It has orange berries so a bird probably dropped a seed under my tree.
