    Bingo! Laura you nailed it. They’re from West of Illinois—how did they ever wind up on the threshold of New England. Thanks.

    Maybe some thing in the four o’clock genus (?) . This might be the wild four o’clock (Mirabilis nyctaginea). Check it out and see if you have a match. Best wishes! http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/prairie/plantx/fouroclockx.htm

    No, it isn’t a morning glory; not a vine and not a trumpet flower. Flowers are tiny. Thanks anyway.

    It looks like “Morning Glory” to me. Flowers can be blue too. When small, it looks much a green bean plant.
