A beautiful water flower from a delicious water vegetable. Many names and many uses in Asian cuisine for this delicious vegetable growing maintenance free in water, some times in rice fields, often in lotus ponds after lotus season and often in lily ponds together with the blue water lily or blue lotus side by side.
Some other common names for the water morning glory are water spinach, Chinese spinach, swamp cabbage, water convolvulus, kangkong (kang kong).
Water morning glory grows as long runners on waters specially during the rainy season and has its blooming season by the end of the rainy season. Edible are the younger tips of the plant, i.e. the softer 20-40 cm of the youngest part of each runner. The older parts get tough - the younger parts of the plant are tender and tasty. Used often in any kind of mixed vegetables, soups, even as toping on vegetarian pizza. The blooming parts of the water morning glory usually are too old to eat. Choose young fresh branches. Water morning glory is a wild plant and abundant all over wet hot countries in South East Asia. Photo here from Cambodia. But the water morning glory also is very frequent in the Philippines - known as Kang Kong (kangkong).
Water morning glory flowers are in lilac as here shown on this picture or as plain white blossom.
