Good morning, internets.
Today we are going to be talking about the wonderful annual vine known as the “cardinal climber”. It’s a member of the morning glory family, and its botanical name is Ipomoea sloteri. “Ipomoea” means “wormlike” in Latin, referring to the coil…
Actually who cares, I just wanted to share some photos I took last year of cardinal climber vines in my garden.
Here’s an interesting tidbit pulled from wikipedia: “…the unique presence of ergoline alkaloids in some species of the family Convolvulaceae is due to symbiosis with clavicipitaceous fungi.” Woah!
