Who knows the name(s) of this plant?

Question

Let me describe it: it's a vine with crenelated, crinkled bright green leaves and it makes a small pink flower. It tends to throw off a lot of tendrils that curl in on themselves in spirals if they don't find anything to latch onto. I grew up with them everywhere in Louisiana, but nobody knew their name.

Anybody know?

Answer 1

In Cajun country they call it the Rose of Montana or "Coral Vine." They are common in the southern states, are drought-tolerant and attract lots of birds and butterflies.

Here is a good image of the unusual leaves and tiny pink flowers:

Answer 2

Maybe kudzu. It really likes to spread and choke out everything.
