Some resources list Ipomoea seeds as poisonous if large quantities are ingested.
The toxic principals include indole alkaloids and others.
Symptoms include hallucinations, dilated pupils, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, numbness of extremities, and muscle tightness.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the danger notation in the details above is to warn gardeners, parents and pet owners to look further for more information.

My neighbor has this all around her porch, at least I think it's the same plant. The blossoms don't have any pink in them. Also the seeds are round and the leaves are heart shaped. If it's not Small flowered White Morning Glory, then hopefully someone will tell me what it is.
And I have a LOT of seeds.

This plant grows wild in my area, kinda cute flowers but very small. If you grew it in a garden I would reccomend it as a groundcover rather than a vine as it tends to sprawl rather than climb. Notable features are the green throat and pink anthers.
