Morning glory (Ipomoea indica). A common, pretty flower in Hawaiʻi, beginning the day with blue-violet petals that change to pink by late afternoon. Its vine structure makes it usable as a swing. Bitter tasting stems and roots are good for external treatment of bruises and broken bones. Cordage is another product. (NEAL 708.)
