The leaf shape isn't right and I don't know about the flowers, but its
way of laying on top of stuff resembles the Bur Cucumber, which
recently I've been working to kill off. It lays on top of just
everything growing around it, and grows suddenly, one day on top
of everything.
What exactly does it lay, on top of everything growing around it?
Lay is correct, taking its sense from the sprawl of various transitive lays.
What it does not do is ``lie on.''
You're wrong, of course.
