The color of flowering can be any: white, red, pink, blue, etc. The shape of the flowers of morning glory that can be simple or double resembles a gramophone pipe. Large fragrant flowers are on long pedicels, abundantly covering the stems, open early in the morning and turn behind the sun until they close at noon, although on an overcast day they close only in the evening. Morning-glory plant that grows in our gardens is a garden ipomea, liana, that grows up to 16.4 ft. It is difficult to imagine that field convolvulus, the weed and the farmer's nightmare, is a close relative of the luxurious morning glory that is such a popular ornamental plant among flower growers and gardeners. In the morning its flowers open earlier than all other flowers and that is why morning glory is called вЂњthe flower of the morning dawnвЂќ. In floriculture, lianas of this genus are mostly used.

So the name means вЂњworm-likeвЂќ and this definition refers to the rhizome of perennial plants of the ipomea genus. The name вЂњipomeaвЂќ is derived from two Greek words: вЂњipsвЂќ means вЂњwormвЂќ and вЂњhomoiosвЂќ means вЂњsimilarвЂќ. In the genus of ipomea there are even representatives of food crops вЂ“ sweet potato and water spinach. Its representatives grow in tropical and subtropical regions of the world and the genus comprises perennial and annual plants, bushes, trees and lianas. There are more than five hundred species in this genus. It is the most numerous genus of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae. This haiku of Matsuo Basho, the Japanese poet, is dedicated to ipomea plant, or water convolvulus.
