I have two different invasive vines currently in different gardens. One has a flower that resembles a morning glory family: Calystegia sepium, "False bindweed" or "Hedge bindweed", noted above. The other is growing at a really fast rate and is even more worrisome. It is Convolvulus arvensis, or "Field bindweed"; see next photo, and small one posted below of leaves. You can click on the small photo to see it better.

Thank you to those who helped me ID the two vines!

We live in Michigan.

There are at least three species of Bindweed found in Minnesota- Hedge Bindweed (Calystegia sepium); Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis); and Low False Bindweed (Calystegia spithamaea). Hedge Bindweed and Field Bindweed are more common and are similar in appearance.

A wildflower I found in a field. I saw only one. Hedge Bindweed

Calystegia sepium (Convolvulus sepium) .The bloom was a little tattered around the edges, but still beautiful. I decided to experiment with the image in Picnik.

Calystegia sepium

Hedge bindweed; bellbind

"The fragrant Honeysuckle spirals clockwise to the sun

And many other creepers do the same.

But some climb anti-clockwise; the Bindweed does, for one,

Or Convolvulus, to give her proper name."

The Convolvulus sepium is now called Calystegia sepium
