    Hi all,
    Here are a couple of pics., not very good, somedays I just can't seem to get it right. Anyway, I found the one with the leaves like morning glory in the lot behind my house when I was weedeating today and the other one I found out by the lake. Can anyone help on what they are. The one I found by the lake starts out light pink and turns bright red the next day. I have never seem it growing before this year.

    This looks like a plant I just found recently growing down by the creek...it does look like a morning glory except for those flowers. I had never seen it before this year either, but where it's growing I would guess by looking that it's terribly invasive...I left it there. I am curious as to what it is though.

    Lantana,
    I am going to leave it alone for now and watch to see what seed pods develop. I have a friend who wants some seeds of it, she thinks it's also a climbing milkweed. But I was told back in the spring that the milkweed vine doesn't bloom. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see if someone else has a clue.

    stormy 19 and others: BEWARE! this is an incredibly invasive plant called bindweed/false morning glory.

    this stuff can cause a rash for some people making then as miserable as poisin ivy does. take this as gospel from one who knows the hard way.

    i can't touch it w/out gloves or i suffer for days.
