Common Flower Gems - Classification #10 Low False Bindweed (Calystegia spithamaea)

I found this low growing white and funnel shaped flower in the Jersey Area near my job. At first I thought it was just some field bindweed but upon closer inspection I noticed it was growing straight up from the ground without any twisting vines but a low erect stalk. A pretty interesting find and a common flower gem indeed.

Really enjoyed this vivid yellow variation of the Canary Yellow Zinnia. I still don't understand why the petals aren't double flowered and round like the picture on the seed packaging. The same thing occurred last year and I thought it was a fluke the first time around but it happened again this year. Blooms still look great though and I'm OK with the results.
