My 7yr old grand daughter helped me hunt for seeds this morning and before the day is done we'll have them planted in something..... We collected blue Morning Glory and Angel's Trumpet seed pods full of seeds. Both plants grow wild, like weeds here. I didn't even realize that the huge bush that sprang up by the pool last summer was anything but a pretty weed! Every evening we would watch fasinated by the moths that looked like humming birds buzz around the flowers. We left it as it was hanging over one side of the pool looking beautiful! We thought it was the prettiest weed we ever saw! LOL
If anyone wants any of these seed pods for morning glory or angel's trumpet just PM me with your address as there are a lot still on the dead plants outside. I'm assuming the seeds are ok?

Ok, I've just sat and did alot of reading and looking at pictures and I don't have Angel's Trumpet like I thought. I have Devil's Trumpet. It seems to be related but I think mine is more of the wild flower/weed variety! It stood up tall and leaned over the water like a canopy and was pollinated by huge moths that looked like humming birds. Flowers didn't open up until evening. I don't remember the folige having an unpleasant smell though. I copied a website for you and mine looks exactly like the pics from HarryNJ
