Mystery Flowers 18 Poem by Kim Barney
Mystery Flowers 18
Although it's pretty as can be,
this is not one I'm thrilled to see.
This is not a contest. There is no prize except GLORY. Can you identify this flower?

Although I'm not first, I also thought this was bindweed or morning glory. Ours usually don't have that much pink in them, though. The county agents always told folks in our county that the best time to spray them was after the 24th of July because then they would begin taking the poison into their roots. So, time to spray away!
I'm not thrilled to see them either. They are all over my yard. We call them bindweed here. It may be morning glory or a relative of it. One of my sons calls it vine-weed. It's by far the worst weed in my yard.
You are correct. Most people around here call it morning glory, but it is indeed bindweed, and by far the worst weed in my yard as well. The one in the picture was wrapped around one of my tomato plants. Most of the leaves you see in the picture are tomato leaves. The little yellow blossom on the right side of the picture is a tomato blossom. That is actually the bottom of the picture, because PH turned my picture sideways. The bindweed is no longer there, because I got rid of it right after I took the picture. Thanks for the comment. You win the glory of being the first to identify it. Actually, Douglas Scotney identified if first by its scientific name, but he did it in a personal message instead of a comment (I don't know why he did it that way) .
a haiku, Kim: Although it's pretty as can be, this is not one I am thrilled to see.
Thanks for the comment, Doug. Nice job turning my couplets into a haiku that rhymes. Haikus don't rhyme most of the time, but I've a few of them that do.

I could identify the tomato leaves in the background. But the flowers are not of tomato plant, I am sure
