Anyone know a good site for identifying obnoxious vines that keep sprouting up all over my flower beds?

When I use roundup on them, they die, but the surrounding shrubs have weakened too. I am hoping that if I find exactly what it is, I can tailor the remedy to it.





It's kind of, but not quite heart shaped and wraps around limbs etc and grows extremely fast. Thin leaf and not woody.

Yup, sounds EXACTLY like bindweed. Don't think I'm nuts here, and this will take a little time. Break or cut of the bindweed close to the ground and leave about an inch showing. Right after cutting, use a small brush with round up or any weed killer on it and dot the "wound". I have done this with mush success without damaging other plants. Just be sure not to drip any off your brush.

but I don't think you'll need it - I am dead sure you're talking about Morning Glory AKA Bindweed. It is really hard to get rid of!

Reply:If that leaf has 2 friends - run. I got poison oak 2-1/2 weeks ago from an innocent looking plant with 3 leaves. It was among regular weeds %26amp; my flower bed. Tommorrow I get to see doctor again as it has gotten worse. If not look it up on yahoo to identify, some plants require removal of roots to kill.
Reply:sounds like bind weed to me. It is a miserable weed and very hard to control. It looks like roundup is the best thing to use on it. If you try to dig it out you will never get all of the roots and it will just keep coming back.
