I know they are famous for the medicinal properties and I've always been curious to see what they looked like. I fancied they were small ("prim") so thanks for clearing up that misconception.
I have morning glories all over my backyard (it looks like one big wild jungle canopy back there) and (obviously) they open in the early part of the day and close up in the evening. They're very beautiful. I hate to have the landscaper cut them all down. I'm hanging onto my wild backyard as long as I can.
i believe i've seen hummingbirds eat from this too.
you have a way of keep nailing all the plants i keep seeing to, as they flower, and i'm like "must research that" :>

here's a good one to find out: what's up with that clicking insect i hear all over somerville/cambridge mostly at night? i've climbed trees trying to hunt one down. pesky :)
If we're talking about the same sound, I'm pretty sure it's one of the angle-winged katydids, Genus Microcentrum. They used to hide in the ivy-like plant (that's still a mystery--what's that plant?) outside my bedroom window. We don' t have the plant anymore, but we can still hear the insect ticking down the street in other places.
