Some kind of purple trumpet flower. It's pretty, but completely rogue.
Close up:
So odd.
We've also got...um...walnuts?
Tree:
Fruit:
Fallen Fruit:
Nut?
Ok. So this is what it looked like after Husband had rinsed most of the rotten fruit off of it. We couldn't get it open, so I tried cracking it with a big ol' nail and out hammer. It's mocking me. We gave up.
If it helps, the nut smells burned, like smokey ash.
I would say that we'll just leave these for the raccoons for now, but they don't even seem to want them. Maybe it's not edible, after all?

Wowwww... You have THE CRAZIEST yard!! The purple flower looks like a petunia to me, fwiw. The nut/fruit. No friggin' clue. Maybe the raccoons will come and crack them open and leave behind the parts you don't eat and you can figure it out!
I was thinking the flower looks like a morning glory. Is it coming from that vine behind it? If yes, def. a morning glory. LOVE THEM!
It's a morning glory. The tree is a walnut.
yes, it's a morning glory and it's considered a weed here in Sydney. It will cover and grow over everything if you let it (maybe not such a bad thing in your patch of dirt :P ). The flowers are very pretty but don't last once picked.

Looks like a black walnut tree to me. I grew up with one right in my front yard - I don't think they're edible though....
Hi, came across your blog by way of the kitchn. Saw this post and thought I might help. Walnuts are edible, but it is hard to get the outer shell off (my parents lay theirs out in the driveway and drive over them for a while before getting the nut). Then, the nut part is probably pretty green still. Most nuts need to 'cure' for a bit before they are truly edible. I picked up some hickory nuts a few weeks ago and had a similar problem. Not sure how long you would have to let it sit for, you would need to research that. Hope this helps! I've enjoyed reading your blog.
