The closest guess I have is this: Wild Raisin (Viburnum cassinoides),<br />Also known as withe rod, this common woodland shrub grows to 12 feet tall and has umbrella-shaped clusters of white flowers. In early September, each cluster will have green, white, pink and dark purple fruit. If the fruit isn't eaten by birds or other creatures, it withers and turns purple, looking like raisins. It does grow in your area, and if this isn't what you have, maybe yours is related to it. Whatever it is, it's beautiful, even more so with cardinals sitting in it.Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309987428045299558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-10889390069127266302014-04-19T19:38:36.391-07:002014-04-19T19:38:36.391-07:00Hi there, I hope your beautiful blossoms don't...Hi there, I hope your beautiful blossoms don't freeze.

My best guess is that it is a Blackhaw or Viburnum species of some kind.

All I had so far were two pots of pansies, now with flowers that snap off in your hand, but I do worry about everything that was budding.

My peonies are full of buds and I don't want them to get killed I also remember the year it frosted and it killed back the leaves on the trees and they smelled rotten. I have never heard of a chocolate vine I will have to look it up.<br />Love you, vickit43https://www.blogger.com/profile/13323200977207915004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-43013448839029655182014-04-15T18:16:27.107-07:002014-04-15T18:16:27.107-07:0031 should not be a problem.
