Growing on a busy roadside in the middle of town! Jason parked in a parking lot whilst I quickly took a few photos!

I had no idea Morning Glory came in vivid colours such as this, thanks Lisa. Quite the show stopper. Posted 5 years ago

  Aww, thank you Ruth! There are two native species of this color in my region that are nearly identical, I. coccinea and I. hederifolia. There is a nonnative that I have already documented. Let me see if I have it somewhere around here... Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

  This is the one native to Northern Mexico and South America. I saw it growing on a disturbed roadside as well:
