Name That Plant!

Vine with purple flowers killing garden and flowers - another pic

13 years ago

Sorry, didn't realize I could only attach one pic. Here's one of the flower. Young flowers are white and mature are bright purple. It has the illusion of having 5 seperate petals yet when I look closely it is actually fused. The petals have distinct pointy edges.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Your plant from the two post looks like bindweed(but as the poster on the other tread pointed out, it could be a couple other things), but that flower you posted belongs to a bellflower(campanula) and doesn't go with the foliage at all. Those flowers would not of started off white and turned purple either. I think the vine has wound around a bellflower giving the illusion that it is blooming that flower.
Find a white bloom from the vine and take a pic please : )

Good point, Remy. :-) When I saw the flowers, my first thought was Campanula...so I backed off. Really need a better image of the foliage and any blooms that belong to the vine.

your neighbors would love the plants, and maybe later they will share with you something you don't have. Or how about setting them at the end of your drive with a for sale sign on them? Check around maybe there is a non-profit plant sale/bake sale going on soon and they might like the donations. I do volunteer work at a monthly bake sale and although not a baked good I brought them anyway and they all sold. Check the girlscouts, Masons, Easternstar, Boyscouts, local nursing homes, old home day, american legion, Elks something like that. Isn't in a nice feeling to know you grow things so well :) Karyn

A lot of plants take their blooming cues from light levels and temperatures. Even though you're in Florida, you're getting reduced hours of less intense sunlight. It's winter, after all, even if you're not freezing. My Lady Margaret is the only outside plant I have that's flowering, although my caerulea just aborted a bunch of buds. Bummer.

Hi again Len, I agree with the others. The cat's claw creeper (Macfadyena unguis-cati or Bignonia unguis-cati) is even more of a weed than the Allamanda. Cheryl's picture is the cat's claw creeper. Sorry if I confused the issue with a wrong identification. What can I say? I am only a humble Victorian! Lol. Cheers, Dee.
