They are both vines, but they are not related species - so they will not "mix" unless you are a genetic engineer with a lot of expensive equipment. Put "Heirloom Vegetables" in your Browser and find some really weird plants that look like they were cross-bred - there used to be a lot wider variety of vegetables than we get from the store now and some companies and organizations save the old seeds and grow them to keep them around. They are cool - tiny white eggplants, green striped pumpkins, purple tomatoes! You can grow some just to amuse yourself with the results - make up some stories about how these plants were bred, why not?

Dont think so
Try to find different plants that are still in the same generic family, you may have some success
There have been some generic cross's but they are not easy to attain

no not with your home chemistry set.
they are 2 distinct species
the vine part is just natures way of solving a problem twice.

Ain't goin' ta happen. It would be like breeding an aligator with a ......bear. Two different species even though they both eat humans.
That doesn't mean you can't draw up your imaginary new plant and give it a name....beakin??
