I don’t go out of my way to plant flowers, but I do appreciate them, and there were some really pretty ones in my garden plot this weekend. The previous occupant of my plot left a rosebush and some kind of gnarled flowering vine, both of which would have been very difficult to remove. I’m glad I didn’t even try. The veggies themselves are also producing some lovely flowers.
Snow pea blossoms
Tomatillo flowers
The inherited rosebush - I just love the creamy yellow color
Marigolds, protecting my potato/pea patch
The mystery vine left in my plot - anyone know what it is?
Chives in bloom
Arugula flowers - wish I had a hi-res camera to show the veins
Vegetable flowers are as beautiful as any other plants people grow for the blooms….. I see your chives are producing purplish flowers, ours here white..
Cheers!

I think your mystery vine might be Deadly Nightshade, a weed. Crush a little bit of stem and leaf; if they smell sort of sick-cloying, like ether or something, then it’s Deadly Nightshade. You could also look up images, which I didn’t. It’s a pest. Remove as much as you can.
Ugh, after looking up some images, it’s definitely a nightshade of some kind. Probably not deadly nightshade, but maybe a woody climbing nightshade that’s just as invasive. This will be a big undertaking to remove…
No question it’s a nightshade—see how the flower shape looks like a tomato blossom kind of?
Looks like this one to me: Bittersweet Nightshade, from a quick google search. (http://www.ontariowildflower.com/wildflower_waste_alien2.htm#nightshade)

This is bittersweet nightshade I have it is starting to take over my backyard, but we have been pulling it up by the roots to get rid if it. It is easily identifiable from some of its 3 pronged leaves.
to be more specific than simply nightshade, it’s belladonna wich is not exactly a weed, but is poisonous.
I have the vine also that has a purple flowers in yellow tips heart shaped leaves and ends up with red berries on it have you found out what is
the flower is deadly nightshade I believe
