Glad to help & <3 the penguins!

I was up early enough and far enough out in an outer borough to see members of the morning glory family in bloom today. They were probably Calystegia sepium, called hedge bindweed, bearbind, hooded bindweed, old man's nightcap, bride's gown, wedlock, white witches hat, belle of the ball.

When I was a little bitty kid, my father bought me a packet of morning glory seeds to plant in our back yard. They climbed up the legs of an old swingset too rusted-over to use and bloomed every morning all summer. Smile The flowers of most members of this family wither around noon, but they're abundant so there are always new ones the following morning.
