I was taking a morning jaunt around the back of the office this morning when I noticed the telltale heart shaped leaves. I ignored the flowers I saw at first because it didn't look like any morning glory I had ever seen .. after following one of the vines I was surprised to see the flowers I dismissed belonged to it! The picture was taken with the office camera and whomped down in size to accomodate dial up. Tomorrow I'll take my big guns camera to work for better pictures.

Anyway .. anyone have an id on this? Is it a species of mg?

It's pretty! I don't think it's an mg either.. I thought the first pic was sweet autumn clematis but then I looked closer....
