What am I?


Can any the experts here tell me what Plant A or Plant B is

they both see to be vine like, not really agressive but very dainty
I love them, can you tell me what they are?

Plant A

Hi. Plant A I have no idea but plant B looks just like the morning glories that I have planted by my carport.

I agree, Plant B looks like morning glories or moon flower.

Thank you both.
Plant A I wish I knew, I just laid it there for the picture, but it is traveling up one of my trees

Plant A almost has a clematis feel to it, although I have never seen them variegated (doesn't mean they don't come that way). Just a guess.

Beware the bindweed! ???


Plant B could very well be a morning glory or moonflower .... if you planted it or there was a self-sow opportunity. (perhaps a bird dropped it??) However, if the size of the plant is on the small size for morning glory and was not planted it my well be bindweed!(it has other names, too). This is a pesky weed that will climb up and choke out anything (tomatoes, zinnias, etc.) and the seeds can lay dormant up to 20 years in your soil. Bindweed's flowers look like mini purple morning glories. But if it is bindweed make sure to pull out before it flowers or you will be "blessed" by this bugger for the rest of your life.

Here is hoping it is morning glory!

Plant A


looks like Sweet Autumn Clematis to me. Here awhile back I was on a friends rental property an it looked just like that with the whitish varigation in it. I figured it was because his was in total shade. I almost got me a start of it an changed my mind. I really don't have anywhere to put it. It gets rather out of hand here.

You are absolutely right! The side of it that has the sun has no whitish variation the leaves, the side that is in the shade has it! I am glad I finally know what it is. I understand that in the autumn they have beautiful flowers that are very aromatic! Time for a trellis!
