The Sharp-pod Morning Glory is a native found in the Southeastern U.S. from North Carolina southward, throughout Florida, and west into Texas. The leaves are deeply lobed with a pointed tip. This plant became somewhat of a pest in the garden at our old house. Originally a gift from the birds, it took over and displaced other ornamentals, completely killing out some dwarf Azaleas. I dug and yanked it out but found it difficult to completely eradicate ... it readily reseeds and sprouts everywhere, including the lawn! When we moved in November 2011 apparently some of it tagged along because I found it sprouting in a couple of container plants.
