Hello everyone! I have this climber in my garden and I have no idea what it is called! It has coiled tendrils and 5 leaflets per leaf. I attach (hopefully) a photo. Thanks!
Looks like a passionflower to me

All of the passiflora/fpassionflower I am familiar have 3 lobed leaves Five leaflets sounds like Virginia Creeper/Woodbine. ( Parthenocissus.) climbs by small suction disks at the end of tendrils. Leaves are sawtoothed (serrate) mle
That's what ours are, but the site above shows 5 lobes for a passiflora.
To the OP: Those are not leaves with leaflets; the leaves on the vine are lobed. Specifically, each leaf is palmately lobed.

You'll see similar leaf variability in the photos of passionflower vines that show up in the first few hits in a Google image search.
You didn't click the link...obviously.
Certainly not a Virginia Creeper. That is a common weed (yes weed, I don't care how much you were charged for yours) around here and that is one of the few plants that I can identify with absolute certainty on sight.
