It looks like Small White Morning Glory (Ipomoea lacunosa). That species has variable-shaped leaves - sometimes entire, and sometimes strongly lobed.

From what I've read, that plant isn't common in New Mexico. Otherwise, it looks like a good match. Thank you for the help. Much appreciated.

I checked the maps on BONAP's site, and did see that Ipomoea lacunose is unlikely in your area. I also looked through the species they report as present anywhere in your state. I didn't see a better option, but am providing the link below. Maybe you can go through the BONAP list and find something that's a more likely match.

i dont understand why you all are ruling out that a person planted the seed...

why this insistence on native ...

someone a yard or two over.. planted something.. and a bird bought it by ... so how can you decide your is or is not a native????? what do native maps of the area have to do with it????

its morning glory season ... they are all growing aggressively.. thats what they do in august. ... to suggest that ONLY natives do such.. kinda rules out most of the other 500 species of the MG family ....

I'm not ruling out anything. Calm down, man.

I was just following up to try to get the best information. The stuff I read said that it was unlikely to be found in NM. That's all. As I said in my original reply, it looks like a good match to me. Jeez.

And thank you very much for the help, Jeekesl.

You're welcome mj. And Ken was mistaken. Those aren't native maps, but cover all species collected by representative Botanists in an area. Non-native species and garden escapees are included. So those maps are a good starting point to check "possibilities".
