There is a house near my work that has a vine similar to this growing up the side of the house. It has large leaves like the one on the left in your picture and looks very much like a philo. But I'm in zone 9 and I can't imagine that is what it is unless it was just planted outside this year. We had a very light frost this morning and I noticed the leaves on this vine were a little browned around the edges. I have been wondering all year what it is b/c most philo vines I've come across are not hardy to zone 9. Thanks for the info.
