Please identify this flower
Grows wild on one small, well-defined area of my farm. Extreme fern-like leaves, small flowers resemble morning glories.
Though it currently grows as a weed, I think the leaves are attractive, maybe I can use them as ground cover or let it climb a fence. Thanks for any assistance, Jay

I recently attended a symposium for Master Gardeners where I learned that this ANNUAL vine can become extremely invasive in the south eastern states! Who knew?

Doesn't tolerate cold, dies easily with a proper winter. For places warm enough for this to be perennial, yep, invasive. My patch apparently just dies and re-seeds every year.

Hello again. Here are three more that I cannot identify. Lots of color for mid-March. Can anyone tell me the names of these plants?

This unknown bloomer is growing on the inside edge of one of my veggie beds. I never planted it. It just showed up a few years ago so I just cultivate around it. It kind of reminds me of a scraggly hyacinth. No fragrance on its bell-shaped flowers. And a new little piece of it has showed up farther down the bed edge this spring! Anyone know what it is?

Looks like Wood Hyacinth. We have them and they spread like crazy. I battle them every year and they keep coming back.

Thanks for the tip. I've looked it up and what I've found pretty much looks like it. I've never planted any and there aren't any more anywhere else on the property that I've found so how ti got there is still a mystery that will remain so.

Ours started as a single mystery flower too! I thought "oh, how pretty" and left it. Up here in this corner of the country they naturalize easily. They are beautiful, but I'm in a small in-city lot and need to guard every inch of available planting space.

There is more than one woods where the bluebells have run wild. Not that bad in my garden.
Quite beautiful. https://www.boredpanda.com/hallerbos...mpaign=organic |
