Light purple trumpet flower, climber. Any one know what it is?

Photos show leaf shape, slightly obscured flower and seed pod.
Hear-say says plant originates in Afghanistan, photographs are from Philippines.
Found growing near moving water.

 

Afghanistan? Hm... looks like an Ipomoea setosa, but it's from Brazil, I belive...

 

Brazil / Peru, actually. I'll second the Ipomoea.

 

Many thanks Lora and Lila, Ipomoea setosa, I agree - the Afghanistan Pakistan/Himalayan species this plant was confused for is probably Ipomoea muricata which has stubby spines rather than spiny spines, cordate leaves and pendulous seed-pods - other than that it is fairly similar (habit, damp shady position, seeds "hairy" until mature, lilac trumpet flower).

Photo is believed to be I.muricata

All the best,
Matt

 

That purple trumpet flower thing is a noxious weed here in Australia.
It grows like nobodys business and will take over within one season if u let it.
I have tonnes of it in my back yard.
Ill try to find out what it's name is and get back to u.
P.s. havent found out how u eradicate it yet.....

 

oooo, just read the date n replies to your question, I guess im just learning to navigate this site :)

 

Hey, Blondieisright, I am still interested to know what the Light purple trumpet flower, climber growing in your back yard is - it may be different to Ipomoea setosa or I.muricata which are South American and Pakistani plants - can you post a photo ?
Thanks,
Matt
