I have to wonder what function these spines serve.

Hi Kevin - The soft spine-like protuberances are postulated to assist the plant when climbing in it's native habitats...similar to the protuberances on
Ipomoea turbinata
http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/48191/

I've noticed that these protuberances also tend to develop into roots when rooting cuttings >so they may help pieces of the stem that break off to gain a foothold on the ground and assist subsequent rooting...

Nice photos...(!)

TTY,..

Ron

Kevin - great shots! Mine are barely hanging on, what with weather and dog issues . . .

Many of the leaves on this one are half curled.

One of the best features of Ipomoea tricolor--It catches a bit of the sun inside.
