I'm looking for seeds from this vine, ipomoea pandurata or wild sweet
potato. We had one that grew for years at our old house in Birmingham,
AL. Now I have a house of my own south of town and would like to have
this plant again. I found some old posts from this group when I was
searching the internet for sources of this plant so I was hoping that
someone would be able to help me.

The past two summers I went back to our old house where the vine used
to grow. There is a vine there but the blooms are considerably smaller
now than they used to be and I wasn't able to obtain any viable seeds.
I don't know if it's a different vine than it used to be or if the
plant is stressed or something. Very strange.

I recognize this name but can you tell me the common name?

Wild Sweet Potato or Man of the Earth I think. Here's what it looks
