Bindweed and Morning-glories

[@q.doneit]

Thanks, the butterfly attribute helped me narrow down my search for information.

This was very informative and useful, thx for the upload 👍 I have Texas Bindweed apparently, growing crazy in my onion patch right now.

[@annabell3385]

I think my morning glories hybridized with my neighbors bindweed because I started getting some smaller morning glories that stayed open all day. Is that possible?

[@stitchedpumpkin5905]

You've giving me traits of each one but there's no comparison for me to tell them apart...

[@causasui8185]

Yes, the production values were disappointing. No side-by-side comparisons. Were the botanical names even mentioned? And who identifies plants by looking at cotyledons? And for what purpose was there a boy mumbling something into the wind?

[@AaricHale]

Are any of them edible ?

[@PurdueExtension]

Hello @Aaric Hale - According to the University of Connecticut, Wild Morning Glory is edible, but you should not eat large quantities. Here is the reference (last paragraph). blog.extension.uconn.edu/2013/09/04/wild-morning-glory/ For the bindweed, I have seen conflicting reports on if they are edible for humans or not, so I probably wouldn’t try it. It is toxic to some animals though.

Have you ever tried to have a garden with morning glories/ bind weed? It makes it impossible, it takes over and completely destroys the usability of a backyard garden. They must be destroyed.
