    It looks like a climber of some kind.
    Where did you get the seed from? We need some help?:biggrin:
    I dont think its morning glory now, it looks very different.

    The leaves do look a bit like sweet potato though.

    I volunteer for the local community food planters, I was given some seed packets for around the planters to pretty them up. One of the packets was wildflower mix but was already opened and only contained 1 seed. So I don't know if someone had put it in there lol

        I think we need a picture of the whole plant again, nice to see it flower.

        Buckwheat!

        The seeds are similar and the flowers are a perfect match, the leaves in these googled photos are a bit more pointed but the texture and the relative size look about right.

        Google pics:
