hmmmm - I thought I had responded in this thread a few days ago?

Anyway... I had also thought it could be a coneflower because of the way you describe it. What color are the flower petals? Maybe a black eyed suzie?

Can't wait to see your picture.

if it resembled a morning glory it may have been a datura * based on the shape of a morning glory,,,* a morning glory doesn't have individual petals, ~ a datura prickly pod hangs down where the bloom was at and green turning brown later,,
did your flower have petals???? if so then it very well could have been a cone flower,, I'd like to see a picture too.
