I'm finding it called ampelamus albidus honeyvine milkweed.

Still looks the same. Interested in learning more... A native plant can't possibly be as bad as some people make out... Can it?
There's a lot of other matelea growing around here.
Yellow flowered:

As well as the purple that you have:

And then there's the Biflora, not sure I have that...
But, also the gonolobus suberosus with a less attractive flower, but a gorgeous seed pod....

I garden in an area of Macon with the mateleas and gonolobus (growing wild), but haven't seen any honey vine.
The vines we have here are very slow to establish from seed (years), but don't seem to mind being transplanted as flowering size vines....
Edit:
This is interesting...
Found additional purples!

I think I have m.caroliensis and m. Flavidia and gonolobus suberosa.
