  Thanks, Mia. I like the way the various blossom lean toward each other.

Thank you for posting these. I have seen these all my life and didn’t know what they are called.:)

I found this growing wild, and introduced it to my yard years ago. We get a few plants every year without deliberately planting. Unlike most “morning glories” this one has flowers that last all day if the weather is not over about 90°.

I have found them growing in the wild of northern New Mexico. Has anyone else found this to be true. (I would add a picture, but I can’t get them to stand still.)
