The term "Gray Lady" was first used to describe an Ipomoea nil cultivar that was selected out over 20 years ago by a veteran morning glory growing lady in Illinois and was offered for open trade in the earliest editions of the printed trade publication known as the "Flower and Herb Exchange"
I have added for reference this important footnote to accurately document the history relative to this cultivar, as there have been some 'incorrect' claims to a more recent origin for the cultivar'Gray Lady"
