I have those that came from my grandmother. We call them moon flowers. As long as you let the seed pods open, there will be more next year. The wind has even blown some of my seeds into places where I didn't want them!!

Looks like what we call - Wild Morning Glory. Farmers don't like them growing in their fields.

Looks just like the morning glory that is trying to strangle my roses...I love all flowers, but these are so invasive.

Is this flower about 8" across? Moonflowers have flowers that are somewhere around 6" to 8" or more across. Any Morning Glory that I have ever seen has a small flower.

I think it's a moon flower. They bloom later in the day and are usually open yet in the morning. Also stay open if it's not too sunny. They smell so good!! I used to have them, two of my neighbors have them this year and I love them.

looks like a moon-flower. google that for lots of info on this type of flower. They come up in my yard from time to time and are pretty when they bloom.
