Tell me about plant called Morning Glory?
A morning glory actually blooms all day- ,mine was in California so it grew all year and it was like a jungle crazy vine. The blooms are deep throated and beautiful, purplish blue and very big and intense, there are other colors I understand also. I loved,loved it, and it was easy to cut back because the vines are soft and have no thorns etc. but if I grow another I would pot it as it did grow everywhere at a pace I couldn't believe- it did state on the tag when bought that it died back every year- not in CA! It is a great,easy plant though and well worth it for the blooms....
Reply:common name for members of the Convolvulaceae, a family of herbs, shrubs, and small trees (many of them climbing forms) inhabiting warm regions, especially the tropics of America and Asia. The family is characterized by milky sap. The largest groups are the predominantly tropical morning-glory genus (Ipomoea), with species most abundant in Mexico, and the bindweed genus (Convolvulus) of more temperate regions. Many bindweeds are also called morning glory. Species of both are chiefly herbaceous vines of prolific growth and with colorful funnel-shaped blossoms that often open only in the morning. I. purpurea is the morning glory cultivated as an ornamental in North America. The moonflowers (including I. alba), tropical American night-blooming vines, have similarly shaped but much larger blossoms, often heavily fragrant. Convolvulus scammonia is the scammony of Asia Minor; a resin exuded from its roots are exported from Aleppo and Smyrna as a medicine. The most important commercial plant of the family, the sweet potato sweet potato, trailing perennial plant (Ipomoea batatas) of the family Convolvulaceae ( morning glory family), native to the New World tropics. Cultivated from ancient times by the Aztecs for its edible tubers, it was introduced into Europe in the 16th cent. and later spread to Asia.

The dodders (genus Cuscuta, usually classified as a separate family) are common leafless, parasitic vines that often resemble bright orange threads. Each of the widely distributed species parasitizes a specific host; C. epilinum, for example, lives on flax. The morning-glory family is classified in the division Magnoliophyta Magnoliophyta (măg'nōlēŏf`ətə), division of the plant kingdom consisting of those organisms commonly called the flowering plants, or angiosperms .

Reply:I think it's a flowering vine that has blooms that open up for awhile in the mornings, then close up for the rest of the day
Reply:The name Morning Glory is usually given to species of the genus Ipomoea in the family Convolvulaceae but may perhaps be used of species from other genera in the same family. They are a climber (stem twiner) and in warm climates can be quite invasive of natural vegetation if they escape and can also (as someone else observed) strangle other plants in a garden.
Reply:Despite their beauty, their seeds are hallucinogenics, and dangerously so. Many young people are attracted to them for that reason. What they neglect to realize is that these seeds are treated with insecticides, fungicides, etc. which make them even more disastrous. Ask and observe why someone may be questioning it.
Reply:They grow wild in the south.They are a vine,which have a beautiful bloom during the day and close at night. They are a pain for gardners. They will take over the other plants and choke them.They are a variety of colors.
