Hi BeKind,
to All Things Plants!
My first thought was it reminded me of Hops
Hops (Humulus lupulus 'Hallertauer')
Hops (Humulus lupulus)
but the leaves aren't right for that.
I have no idea what that interesting plant is but I'm pretty sure one of our members would be able to narrow it down if as Dave suggested you could tell us where it's growing ... city, state or country and if it's a current photo or what time of year the photo was taken.
