Notes:
Pulling up my evasive growth of creeping cucumber and I found the flower in these photos. It’s a separate vine from the Little yellow flower vine but has the same vine and leaves. The books say that the female is a trumpet flower but I can find no mention of the bright orange color. Is it a creepy lady cucumber flower dressed in orange or something else? Anybody know?

tonili apparently the cardinal climber has a different leaf than many of the other morning glories. Looks like the Ipomoea x multifida leaf is deeply lobed. Interestingly it is a cross between the cypress vine, another morning glory variety, and ipomoea coccinea. Splitting hairs but, definitely a morning glory. http://awaytogarden.com/cardinal-climber-and-its-cousins-annual-vines-that-are-hummingbird-favorites

its a cardinal climber I sometimes mix them up with the cypress vine and I have to see the foliage. I did both this year and the cypress vine is dainty and precise. It is definitely not a morning glory.

I believe its a cardinal climber. Just planted my first seeds this spring from a packet and the took forever to bloom, August when they flowered but now I have seeds galore!

Stone “Red Morning Glory” That is it. Strange that it grew in with the creeping cucumber and looks so much the same — except for the flower. Thanx for you identification. Thanx to others that offered their possibilities as well. This site is fun. Wildflower Man

A great hummingbird vine… I agree with the ipomoea coccinea id, but the Dave’s Garden website wouldn’t be my first choice for info… Maybe this link will be more helpful… http://www.floridata.com/ref/i/ipomoea_coccinea.cfm If you compare with Ipomoea hederifolia, you may find that it matches better.

Bobby, Close but leaves not quite right. The one I have is very small flower that is 1.125″ long and has a diameter at the flower of .375″ with leaves and creeping stem identical to the creeping cucumber that grows all around it… What size is the Orange Morning Glory?
