I've found some old Morning Glory pictures from a vacation near Venice - the real one in Italy.

The first one is easily recognized as some sort of ipomoea - it grows in the dunes and therefore doesn't have much to climb.

the other 2 show the most spooky of all Convolvulaceae: it's a form of Cuscuta - I think it's dodder in English, but I like the German Teufelszwirn (Devils Twine) better. While the middle one shows how this parasitic something spreads, the last one shows that it still has flowers - yes those tiny white things.

I bet you weren't aware of this face of the Morning Glories...
