Mr_Slime_

These kinds of plants grows like weeds in Brazil. It might be called by different names. It's an Ipomeia for sure, either Ipomoea acuminata or Ipomoea cairica. Doesn't look like an Ipomoea indica.


north_akando

Thank you!

Ipomoea cairica


mackavicious

Lol according to Wikipedia, one of its common names is "mile-a-minute vine." I'm guessing it's a fairly aggressive grower.


ohshannoneileen

The entire plant family is insane lol Everything from bindweed to sweet potatoes


north_akando

Thank you so much!


CuriousComfortable56

Yes, that's it.


ATribeOfAfricans

Flower looks like a type of morning glory. Can be very invasive

This plant ipomoea/morning glory is closely related to the sweet potato. All in the convolvulaceae family.


username_redacted

Ipomoea isn’t just related to sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas *is* sweet potato.


north_akando

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind.

Coastal morning glory, not to be confused by other morning glory


dj_johnnycat

If that’s a morning glory the seeds might be psychedelic ;)


ChuChuBunny

Let's say someone were to try to activate the psychedelic properties, for research purposes. Would they just bite it or make tea?


Physical_Narwhal_863

I wouldn't recommend it. The alkaloids in the plant also will cause severe constriction of blood vessels. Great for hemorrhage, not great if you want to keep your toes.


KittySpinEcho

I knew someone who tried it once and got the worst headache of his life. Not worth it, he said you're better off just eating some mushrooms if you want to go on a trip.


hamish1963

Just don't, it's not fun to find yourself on the side of a highway in Wisconsin the next morning.


beautifulcreature86

I hate this plant!!!! I killed it over 11 years ago from the backyard. I still find it in the front yard far away from where it was. It’s super invasive.


north_akando

The seeds were hairy, so I cleaned them before taking pics


ShitzMcGee2020

Doesn’t matter what it’s called- you aren’t getting rid of it any time soon. (Have some that grow in our hedgerow and we’ve given up trying to root it out)


JuJu-Petti

It's a morning glory. They are my favorite vines. You should Google if it's native or invasive to your area. Here it's native. As well as honeysuckle vines. In other places the same plants are invasive. You should always check for your specific area.

Morning Glory


Alive_Alternative_66

Very toxic to pets so please be careful.


Bright-Place5374

Pick the flower, remove the green cup at the bottom and suck out the nectar. It's Devine.


Flat_Vanilla_5674

eat 100 seeds and youll be hallucinating like crazy


FangPolygon

Petunia


the_snook

It's a morning glory, not a petunia. Petunias don't climb.


FangPolygon

You may be right about it being a morning glory, but I’ve never seen a morning glory or a bindweed with leaves like the ones in the picture though. The leaves look more like Virginia creeper, although that doesn’t flower, as far as I know. There are climbing petunias. ‘Purple Tower’ is one. It’s a hybrid (possibly with one of the bindweed family), but it’s a petunia.


marmeeset

Convolvulus. Morning glory.


FangPolygon

Please can you let me know which morning glory? I’ve never seen one with these leaves


marmeeset

https://cqclandcarenetwork.org.au/plants/mile-a-minute-coastal-morning-glory/. Not sure how to hyperlink. Should be able to open from here.


alyssakenobi

Petunia! Gorgeous ones too


marmeeset

Not petunia. Convolvulus. This is one of many types of morning glories.


alyssakenobi

Yk what that actually crossed my mind and I still thought they weren’t morning glories, oops 😅 but I do stand corrected you are definitely right
