Can you please tell me why these are called white edge? This looks like Star of Yelta or Grampa Otts.

I didn't write the PDB description, but this is President Tyler - it is very similar to G Ott and Star of Yelta - blooms are larger.

Ok, I was just wondering I thought that it might have been a mistake, thanks :)

It was a mistake. The common name was changed in the PDB entry. Beautiful photo, BP!

The photo is of President Tyler - a cultivar of morning glory (Ipomoea Purpurea). The description on the plants database was/is incorrect.

How much bigger are the flowers compared to Grandpa Otts & Star of Yelta? GREAT picture! Is it growing in a pot?

I grew all three last year for the first time - in pots, yes. These blooms were a little bigger than Grandpa Otts - but container growing effects flower size anyway.

The subtle differences between these three varieties, if they exist, are lost on me - but I'm not the most critical eye either.

Here's a picture of 5 mgs ... the 3 in front are President Tyler and the 2 in back are Grandpa Otts.
