Cardiospermum halicacabum
Fast growing vine with ferny foliage that will reach up to 10 ft. in one season. Each seed pod is a three-sided green balloon that turns brown and stays inflated! When squeezed, it "pops" and you'll find 3 charming seeds inside, each having a perfect white heart at the place where it was attached to the pod.
Bittern Marsh Trail in Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area.
This vine is considered an exotic invasive in some states.
