Certainly, Chester; it's almost antithetical to the name I've listed...

Well the common name I am familiar with is less ominous, virgin's bower.

Yes, it's pretty evil sounding for something so soft and fuzzy. lol

I'm glad I could help you with the ID of this. That is quite a tangled mess, 3 spottings in one! I wasn't familiar with the common name, pretty evil sounding!

Yep, that's why I was confused. Initially, I didn't upload this (spotting for a long time) because I thought the Clematis might've been part of the pokeweed.

I believe you are correct kunzah, quite a tangled mess you have there with a morning glory and pokeweed, I can just make out a set of the leaves for C. virginiana in the upper left.
