Morning Glory

The Morning glory is a plant briefly seen in the How to Train Your Dragon.

Description
The name "Morning glory" applies to more than 1,000 species of flowers belonging to the family Convolvulaceae. The most known Morning glories are those from the genus Ipomoea.

Most Morning glories are vines, meaning they climb trees or manmade walls for support. They have small round flowers, which are commonly dark blue, purple, pink or white. Before opening, the flower blooms are usually curling. Although most morning glories open throughout the day, some of them are night-blooming.

Function
In the franchise, Morning glory vines are used for the sulfur in their juice, specifically for making elastic or bouncy products.

In real life, Morning glories are planted near buildings, so that when they climb the walls, they can create summer shades, and also keep the building cooler.

During the quest "Back in the Saddle, Part 2", Phlegma suggests using juice from a Morning glory vine to make an elastic material for saddles. The player then collects the flowers and delivers them to Heather, who uses the sulfur from the juice.

"The vine has a thin stem that has trouble supporting itself, so it winds itself around trees for support. It 'climbs' the tree so its leaves can get sunlight, so we call these types of plants climbers."
