# Morning Glory

morning glory (also written as morning-glory) is the common name for over 1,000 species of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae, whose taxonomy and systematics remain in flux. These species are distributed across numerous genera, including: Argyreia Astripomoea Calystegia Convolvulus Ipomoea (the largest genus) Lepistemon Merremia Operculina Rivea Stictocardia Ipomoea tricolor, also commonly known simply as "morning glory", is the archetypical species for the group and is known by names such as 'Heavenly Blue', 'Flying Saucers', and 'Pearly Gates'. As the name suggests, most morning glory flowers open early in the day, (at about 8:00 AM) and begin to fade by late morning, as the corolla starts to curl inward.
