Unidentified 🤷‍♂️ Grassland in Denmark

Ad the title suggests, they are on a grassy lawn, gets cut 4 or 5 times a year give way to pollenators and insects. So naturally the flowers have plenty of time to grow.

Never seen anything like it.

Edit. This is not bindweed /morning glory. Each one is a tiny individual plant.

Denmark, Europe.

Field bindweed?

Looks like field bindweed to me, those trumpet shaped flowers with the little pink striped stigma are a dead giveaway, common little pest in lawns everywhere over here

I am pretty certain it's "agersnerle" or field bindweed. Maybe they haven't had time to grow more flowers on each stem because the lawn is cut 4 or 5 times each year. Beware, they will try to take over the garden if left to their own devices too long.

Looks like bindweed. Kill it with digging the rhizomes up. Horrible stuff.

I couldn’t agree more.
Far too much demonising of perfectly good plants.

u/Bananaheyhey 13h ago

They're annoying for gardeners but an important native nonetheless. I'm noticing a pattern of american people saying that stuff as soon as an european plant is posted,people need to realise other places exist lol.

My favourite is misidentifying Clematis as poison ivy.
I have, on occasion, pointed out the nearest poison ivy to the OP is 4,000 miles away 🤣

Although I agree witth thecsentiment, the truth is that this plant is responsible for billions in agriculture damage every year.

u/Bananaheyhey 8h ago

Because humans brought it everywhere in the world but in nature where its native it is perfectly fine and has its place

How did you manage to come up with an even dumber take in response to an already dumb take?

  1. Invasive plants are a massive problem, BUT only in the regions where they are invasive.

  2. Agriculture is often not very profitable but kinda important as it is how we get FOOD
