Field Bindweed

An invasive species of the same family as morning glory. Thought it made this galvanized fence look better though.

I love this one. What an impact the fence has when taken behind a camera lens. Very nice image.

Yes it does dress up the fence. Get out the Roundup!

Yes, this is such an energetic weed and, for me, those flowers rival many cultivated varieties. I remember trying to actually plant some to hide an ugly spot in my garden and the stuff died . . so much for my gardening skills !

I didn't realize these were a variety that took over everything....nice shot though and good help with disguising that fence!

We had purple morning glory growing on a chain link fence in our first house and it really did make the fence much more pleasant to look at. This is beautiful.
