As annoying as some people find this presistent vine, I love it. It is one of the few "fall color" we get in our part of Florida.

Honest to goodness, Caleb, that's what it is called. If you read the reference link, the common name is explained quite well. It is often confused with poison ivy but has five leaflets (as noted in the species name, 'quinquefolia'), while poison ivy only has three leaflets.
