Banga's plant stuff

Wild morning-glory (Convolvulus arvensis)

It's a part of the nightshade family, so it's closely related to plants like tobacco, cape gooseberry, tomato, potato and chilli pepper. In the early sixteenth century, Spanish explorers in South America discovered a white-flowered scented axillaris, which in the Tupi-Guarani language was called Petun, which roughly translates to “worthless tobacco plant.” The explorers found the plant ugly and didn’t think it was worth sending samples back to Spain. Finally, in the late 1800s, breeders in England, Germany and Japan began crossing samples of petunias in search of more varied colours and larger petals these early crossings were referred to as Petunia X hybrida were a stepping stone for petunia to become one of the most popular garden choices of all time.
