Hi everyone -- I rescued two morning glory vines from a destroyed community garden in Southern California which also had some rare herbs in it. One of the morning glories may not be one at all. The leaves look right, but the flowers are much more elaborate -- bright fuschia with separated petals (not a trumpet shape), white veining, and thin additional fuschia and white petals outside the main flower. It's not a bougainvillea I am sorry that these pictures are not very good; anyone have any ideas? http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=17243&stc=1&d=1160088426 flower 1.jpg http://www.botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=17244&stc=1&d=1160088426 flower 2.jpg
It might be ipomoea quamoclit "cardinalis' its a pretty uncommon type of ipomoea and is pretty highly prized. if this is it then congrats on a great find.
