Hello jacki! It comes from southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. So it's a long way from Australia, but not that far from North America! It's a "garden escape" & a perennial climber that smothers shrubs and small trees, depressing their growth. It has twining stems & climbs to 6 metres - 19.7 ft (approximately) & it exudes a milky latex from damaged stems & leaves!
I took the photo after it climbed the fence from a neighbour's house - I got rid of it after the photo shoot and it certainly had a lot of milky latex, ugh!!

jacki2

it is very pretty. why is it noxious? is it an invader? is it crowding out native plants?

Beautiful Kate...

Hello Kate. This weed's flower is very pretty. What a shame. Why is it that weeds do so well here when they originally come from elsewhere?
