No, we also have Morning Glories. Rose of Sharon are all too often mistaken
for Moonflowers also.

Good morning, friends,
There seems to be some confusion at times over the common names of
flowers, as opposed to botanical names. My mother in law routinely,
for
instance, refers to morning glories as moonflowers, which is the
name
her father gave to them in southern Ohio.
Morning glories, for instance, have gone wild here in SoCal, and can
be
found growing wild in shaded, moist canyons.
Could the morning glories growing wild be mistaken for moonflowers?
Dunno, having only seen a picture of one moonflower in my life, in
the
current issue of American Gardener, published by the American
Horticultural Society.
Just wondering.
