This lovely British native is a semi-woody scrambling plant bearing pretty violet flowers which have a pronounced yellow 'beak'. In autumn, just like fruit hanging from a line, which is the dried out vine.... extremely ornamental red berries appear, hanging in grape-like clumps, which are happily eaten by birds but are certainly not edible for humans.
