I came across this invasive Eurasian vine whilst kayaking near some wetlands on Lake Madawaska - the flowers are quite striking, and stand out from the rest of the vegetation. It's the Bittersweet nightshade (Solanum dulcamara), which has become a noxious weed in many parts of the U.S. and will grow in poor soil conditions where more picky plants won't thrive.
It grows over other plants, using them as supports, and spreads widely in this manner.

That's a good looking flower!
Indeed it is! That's why some non-natives aren't eradicated - it's hard to destroybeautiful things
