That's the weird thing. The twig in the photo was just lying on top of a snowbank. I have no idea what it came off of.

Doing a quick search on bittersweet; this sure does resemble it. The only difference that I notice is mine has pink or red pedals, not orange.
Evidently birds love bittersweet. That might explain how a lone loose twig showed up unattached.
Thanks for the input. I had no idea how to even start a search.

I tried to follow up on the hickory blossom lead, especially because I found this directly below a hickory tree. While it looks similar, I am tentatively ruling it out due to the three pedals rather than the four that I would expect for hickory.

Is that one of those things that hippies like to wear in their hair?
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

It is bittersweet and it is the seed and spilt open pod that is orange. A vine that is male or female, needing each to produce the seed pods on female. Flower are hard to notice. Vine in my yard gets 40' tall growing up and strangling a Tamarac by the house. Have to chop it back every couple of years. Everybody gets bundles of seeds for xmas.
