Answer: Western Horse-Nettle
Answer: Buffalo Bur
I have no idea. It's a climbing vine. I took the above picture in the evening, as the flower was closing. Below are some pictures I took in the morning, but it was (as you can tell) a rainy windy morning. We have two of these plants, a pink one and a purple one. Anyone know what they are?
I'm not sure what this bush/shrub is, either. These thorns are about three or four inches long and look horribly painful. (I haven't tried them out myself.) So far, no flowers, and I don't remember any in bloom last September when we moved in.
