Moon Vine


The morning glory vine with the big white flowers and cordate leaves is Moon Vine, Ipomoea alba. Picture taken at Purdue Horticulture Gardens, September 1, 2009.

There's another plant that's commonly grown in these parts that we call moonflower, it has big white flowers too, but that's a Datura, not an Ipomoea. Don't get the two confused, they're completely different plants.
