The reflexed seedpod and shape of the sepals clearly show this to be an Ipomoea purpurea and the corolla pattern is is the flaked strain of Ipomoea purpurea.

Dainty Morning Glory, smaller than I expected but still a nice specimen. The vine was grown in total shade and didn't produce as much as I would have like but it did still produce some flowers and a good bit of seed. Almost all pods had 6 seed in them...........

Grew it again this year and it has not produced any better than the year before and it was planted in more sun this time. As a matter a fact the flowers are more white than pink and they are from seed I collected last year.
I am going to change the soil mixture next year to a loose potting mix and see if that will help it produce better flowers and more seed.
