User's notes

Small plant growing in concrete drainage, looks relatively similar to moth vine, but I'm not sure. I've put it in wildflowers and herbs until I get further inspiration. :)

Does get knocked back by frost - but is a problem species on Red hill and Mugga Mugga - definitely worth pulling out now
