Question
Your website identifies a vine growing on our field in Andover, NH as a "hedge false bindweed" (photo attached). It is identified as a NE wildflower--three types native; one type non-native. Can you ID the type? Is it invasive? I have never seen it before this year and it is spreading rapidly on our open field and climbing everything in sight. Thank you.
Answer
Dear Marinar, good afternoon. No, I cannot ID the subspecies you have in the picture without additional images and a measurement. I would need to know how long the petals are (measured accurately from their base to the apex) and I would need an image from the side view of the flower that includes the stalk to the flower. If you can give me that information, I likely can identify which type it is. Most occurrences of this species in New England are the native types. Best wishes.
