Hello and good morning everyone,
I wanted to show you this plant as it is proving to be very invasive in my neighbour's garden and is growing very very quickly. I can't find it in my books or on line, so I wanted to know if any of you recognise it? I'd be most grateful, as would my neighbour!

Could it be a squash or a gourd or similar ... it looks like something along that line to me.

Bryonia dioica, White Bryonia. It seeds about but doesn't invade by root. One plant, when mature, make enormous annual growth and can swamp a bush, but esy to pull off. Not so easy to dig up, the root is like a huge parsnip

Duh! of course ........ I knew it looked familiar
