I have to look that up. It can't be what we call morning glory in the US - that is a poisonous plant. Do you happen to know the Latin name for it?

From what I found its scientific name is called called Ipomoea aquatica. Is it the same as what you have in the US.
It is and it is not. Apparently, there are a lot of different kinds of plants that are all falling under the morning glory category. The one we mostly know and is grown as a flower is not edible. Here is a wikipedia entry :)

Morning glory
Morning glory (also written as morning-glory) is the common name for over 1,000 species of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae, whose current taxonomy and systematics are in flux.
