CLOSEUP OF MY MYSTERY TRELLIS BUSH

I showed you a picture of a bush growing on a trellis, and it's starting to come alive now, so perhaps you can tell more what it is. I would appreciate it.

Hi Harli - it's Akebia Quinata, alos known as the 'Chocolate Vine'. Mine is growing through a prickly Berberis but flowers before the Berberis comes into leaf so I can still see the small but pretty flowers on the Akebia. Mine is evergreen - how about yours? They do keep their leaves but not always, apparently!
