Editor's Note

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.

Ipomoea wolcottiana is a vine that I found in Acapulco in December 2005. The 5" to 6" Blooms look like Pure Satin that are a Bright Solid White, with a Deep Dark Burgundy Throat.
It appears to be a long climber as it winds through the top of an Acacia Tree, and from the looks of the vine it has some age.
Exquisitely Beautiful!
Ron made the positive ID on this Morning Glory for me.
