On the way home from taking photos of the semi-demolished house yesterday I went past this climber on a fence in the backlane. I have taken pictures before of the seedpod but find it intriguing that whilst some are ripe, open and spreading the seed with the wind others on the plant are still green with no sign of sharing there precious cargo.

I have absolutely no idea what this climber is, would love it if someone out there can identify it and let me know.

Update - I have discovered the answer after considerable research on the internet apparently this a noxious weed and description follows from Wilkipedia

"Araujia sericifera is a perennial ornamental plant in the genus Araujia belonging to Apocynaceae family. This plant was described in 1817 by the Portuguese botanist Félix Avelar Brotero. Its common names include Moth Plant, White Bladderflower, Common Moth Vine and Cruel Vine."
