Northeast corner of a Victorian had a large clump of something taken over by what I am fairly sure is Oriental Bittersweet. Days after cutting everything down and before starting to dig the roots out, these blooms emerged. Am I still looking at Bittersweet or something else?
The reason the lawn isn't evident is because bittersweet and a hedge had taken over the front corner of the house. In another few weeks, the bittersweet would have been climbing up the porch columns as it did last year. Cleaning out this area is the first step in restoring the porch. I'll take a photo of the entire area tommorow. The house was built in 1884, there hasn't been any new plantings on the grounds for two decades--perhaps much longer. Would a quince been common in my area and in front of the house in the past?
