Also known as False Bittersweet–the true one being Solanum dulcamara. This is the vine which produces sprays of orange-yellow capsules that split open to expose the scarlet fruits beloved of florists for their use in dried arrangements. It is a tough and vigorous twiner to 10 or 20 feet, and isn’t so ready to volunteer about the garden as some of the oriental species are want to do. Though I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere, I find them to be noticeably fragrant when they are blooming.
