If anyone can identify these mystery plants (one a weed, one hopefully not a weed),
I would be grateful!

Well Kelly - not sure about the first plant, but I believe your vine
is a trumpet vine - when mature enough it will produce long orange
"trumpet -shaped' blooms! The hummingbirds love it - beware - as yo have already
discovered - it is a fast grower and will attach itself to almost
anything - I have one that has climbed approx. 20feet or so up a nearby pine tree! You
can control it by constantly trimming it so it doesn't "run away"!!! If I can get a
picture of it, I will send you a shot of my trumpet vine! Also - it sends runners
underground - you will see more of this plant popping up in surrounding areas!!
Good Luck!
Jean

The first one may be four o'clocks. Wait and see if they bloom
in the late afternoon.

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

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!

I have been pulling those up for about 12 years. I think they have such
extensive roots that it is impossible to get them all. I use a shovel
to get them up and still they come back. I think the fact that they are
native also helps them. But if you go to Home Depot or Lowe's there's
always some newbie to the area with one of those things in a pot on a
trellis.
