    Whoops, even I should have known that. And yet perhaps it was all that fight-or-flight adrenalin that kept me from recognizing it.

    Thanks --

    That's okay. I'm capable of having a little fun poked at me without collapsing. As is obvious from some of my posts, I am completely ignorant in this area, and I'm grateful for the help you folks have provided.

    Hi David:

    You are doing just fine. Change the shape of the leaves and
    I bet I can make a case that this plant is a new, improved
    Ipomoea! We've already seen plants that we all know but
    do we really know them?

    Texas A&M University cites 6 different forms of Field
    Bindweed as a weed but we have lumped all of those forms
    that we know of into one. Tolguacha and Jimsonweed are
    two different plants but many people have not seen both of
    them to know the difference in them. Even though we try
    to be precise and name plants by their proper classification
    it can be quite difficult to do sometimes. A pretty flowered
    shrub will have more time spent on the classification of it
    than a noxious weed that no one really wants to have in their
    yard will.

    Then again, not many people have seen a Rugosa Rose and I
    know not many people have seen that Peony you showed us.
    Keep up the good work. Your photography is excellent.

    Best regards,

    Jim

    I'm wondering if I'm looking at another "much-feared petunia," here, or at something else entirely.

    Thanks,
    David

    I would say that you have another one on you hands. (feared petunias that is).

    cheers,
    Paul
