Just noticed this low growing possible trailing type plant yesterday. What I thought was a weed with 2 nice little white flowers with yellow throats. I remember trying to start mixed convo seeds last summer in a few spare containers, but dont think they ever bloomed from me. They where only 10 or so feet from where this flower now is but I'm pretty sure those convo's never bloomed, besides they where of the blue mixture.... very strange.... any ideas, thoughts or suggestions are always appreciated!!

Many Thanks,

James

Looks like a white form of convolvulus tricolor, apparently they can be a tender perennial in the med, my Corfu form has yet to bloom

Just found out that it is indeed a dwarf morning glory, The seeds flew to another part of my garden although I did'nt have any luck growing them in a pot last year. Its definately from a mixed pack of seeds so I hope to get to see some other colors... I wonder if it transplants well I would love to pot it up and see how well I could get it to grow... but then again last year did not give me much... hmmmm. but, thanks everyone mystery solved.

Best,

James

Convolvulus tricolor from my experience don't like to be moved..you could always save and isolate the white for breeding experiments, you don't often seen the white form if it was me I would try and save it or cross it with another cultivator.
