  • Question

    I’m trying to determine if this is false bindweed or what it may be if it is not. It is very close to the ground and is a vine. Thank you.

    Answer

    Dear Carterj519, you have photographed false bindweed (genus Calystegia), a member of the morning-glory family. I can't tell you which species because I cannot see the sepals and leaf blades well enough. If you have additional images of those parts, feel free to post them and I can assist further.
