Name confusion

edit

The name "moonflower" is also applied to a species of Datura grown as an ornamental. (That article is aimed at a non-scientific audience.) That plant blooms at night. The Ipomoea alba that I have seen in the Austin area is a vine, not a shrub, and it blooms during the day, and maybe at night as well. This illustrates the danger of using common names. Although my personal observations are not enough to add Texas to the range of this plant, I see it at construction sites here. It clearly tolerates high temperatures, since I see it on chain-link fences at construction sites, etc. in the heat of the summer. Wastrel Way (talk) 16:30, 26 May 2024 (UTC)EricReply
