Description of plant: Leaves look not quite like ipomoea nil, clusters of flowers, no seeds [even though they should have some seeds by now], sepals could be either nil or purpurea, they seem to have been planted because they were along a road, but I also found one dispersed plant, so I take it that they must have seeds at some stage... They also must be able to stand enormously high temperatures because they are exposed to scorching hot sun here in Morocco or at least will be in a couple of weeks when I would expect them to melt away. They have some kind of protection because they grow up on trees or trail down the hill, so they do get some moisture during the night. Stems can hardly be broken off, I took some home to see if they'll root in water...however I discovered spider mite on the leaves, so I am careful to introduce these in my garden... |
