Your trumpet creeper is sprouting from the plants in my yard and I;m positive that your bindweed is haunting me.
I doubt very much that my thistles arise from roots 30' down, but they refuse to be eradicated despite pulling, digging and herbiciding, and leave their annual rings of scars (on me). I believe that they were seeded in eons ago by some interplanetary invaders - sort of iron-jawed Homonoids doing a little planet terraforming prior to takeover of the Universe.

Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is the bane of my garden. The reeds are easy enough to pull out, but the rhizomes go very deep, and any small piece of rhizome can sprout a new plant. It will also spread seeds everywhere.
I hate them with a passion.
