I bought this a few years back and have been growing it in our foyer. It actually bloomed and I was so surprised! Does anyone have any idea what this might be? I've got several progressive pix to help identify it hopeufully.

Finally, do you think any seeds will come from this? Or, perhaps it's a cut vine that needs to be propogated?
