    I searched a long time before I think I have finally found the answer. I believe my vine is Clematis Virginiana. Do you agree? I handled it very carefully because I first thought it was a rare Poison Ivy. Is it poisonous? I want to cut it, but need to know before I do.

    I tried to copy and paste a picture here, but couldn’t do it. So I will describe it. Each stem has 3 leaves at the end of stem and two leaves directly across the stem before you get to the 3 leaves. The stem is purple and has vertical ridges. It is a real climber and a nuisance. It has climbed a tall tree. It produces those fluffy white blooms that I don’t like. I assume those blooms contain seed.

    On the states that you show my state is not listed. You can add Washington State.

    I also have another plant in the same family I believe. It is Ranunculaceae ranunculoideae. It has a beautiful small yellow flower.
