Bindweed

Bindweed
A.k.a. morning glory. Another invader weed that is now thoroughly established thruout North America. This plant is even managing to thrive in the southern Nevada desert along the watercourse. At least it has nice flowers and no stickers-- The broken brush that looks like flotsam to the right of the plant in fact _is_ flood debris, from a large flood down the canyon some months back. Arrow Canyon, southern Nevada.

Well, possibly. The leaves don't look the same as classic jimsonweed--not spiky enough--and it's growing as a vine, not a shrub. My wife, who's got board certification in vet toxicology, thought it looked like bindweed, but she wasn't there when I took the pic. I always called it morning glory, but apparently lots of different plants share that common name!

I can't think of Datura without remembering Carlos Castañeda's bizarre books--

It is a vine and there are many types.The leaves on mine for instance are not spikey either. They are what you see there....

Morning Glory is a totally different plant of the Convolvulaceae family.. Convolvulus and Ipomoea being the most common

I actually grow mine with Morning Glorys to get the flower at both ends of the light !!

I would lay money on yours being one of the strains of datura....

Just my thoughts.. and I dont know those books... need to look them up !!
