Like Lon, I have it here, but it does not thrive.  Each year, a stem emerges sometime in July, grow a couple of feet then dies back again.  It is not spreading, just surviving.  Probably not enough moisture.

	A weed there, but in the west Apios hardly even grows until midsummer,  
then requires heavy watering.  It needs warm, wet summers to perform.
