Purple morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) grows wild, Oct. 9, 2021, in Irvington, Alabama. Morning glory can grow 6-9 feet tall and features trumpet-shaped flowers. Though prized for its beauty, many consider morning glory to be an invasive, noxious weed. It is native to Mexico and Central America but can also be found growing wild on Alabama roadsides. It is considered an invasive species in Florida, Georgia, and Kentucky. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
