If anyone can identify these mystery plants (one a weed, one hopefully

Play along at home! Grab your friends!

Many thanks, KJ

I agree that the top one is a four o'clock. The bottom one is a weed
here but is also sold in Home Depot. It's called "trumpet vine" and it
climbs high in the trees and then has orange blooms. It actually can be

Wow - in my yard, the bottom one is growing *very* invasively! We
thought that it was a clematis we planted from bareroot stock 3 years
back that never came up... then the next year, in around that same
place came this vine that filled the fence (but never flowered). We
let it go a year, then wanted to remove the fence from that area and
my mother moved the main plant over to another fence. We tilled where
the old fence used to be. Now I have to pull about 10 of these things
a month in the old spot, all overgrowing about a foot or two around
and among the nice dahlias and dianthus we planted there! Argh! I
am leery of the "mother plant" but we removed it away to the corner of
the yard, so perhaps I don't care about that one - I just wish we
hadn't chopped up the roots by tilling its old location, because every
molecule of leftover root seems to be taking off!


rather showy. Watch out for the four o'clock, though. In my hard they
are extremely invasive.
