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. Morning glory species belong to many genera.
Most morning glory flowers unravel into full bloom in the early morning. The flowers usually start to fade a few hours before the "petals" start showing visible curling. They prefer full solar exposure throughout the day, and mesic soils. Some morning glories, such as Ipomoea muricata, are night-blooming flowers.
In some places, such as Australian bushland, some species of morning glories develop thick roots and tend to grow in dense thickets. They can quickly spread by way of long, creeping stems. By crowding out, blanketing and smothering other plants, morning glory has turned into a serious invasive weed problem.
Morning glory was first known in China for its medicinal uses, due to the laxative properties of its seeds.
It was introduced to the Japanese in the 9th century, and they were the first to cultivate it as an ornamental flower. During the Edo Period, it became very popular. The Japanese have led the world in developing varieties. Hundreds have evolved, such as a brownish coloured variant known as Dajuro, and varieties with such evocative names as 'Brocade of Dawn', 'Moon in the Dusk' and 'Wisteria Girl'. It has come to symbolize summer in Japanese horticulture and art.
Ancient Mesoamerican civilizations used the morning glory species Ipomoea alba to convert the latex from the Castilla elastica tree and also the guayule plant to produce bouncing rubber balls. The sulfur in the morning glory's juice served to vulcanize the rubber, a process predating Charles Goodyear's discovery by at least 3,000 years.

Ficus elastica A1.S.
Albero che nel suo habitat raggiunge un’altezza di 15 m, mentre in coltivazione non raggiunge i 3 m. Fl persistenti, oblunghe, lanceolate, coriacee, verdi, lunghe 30 cm e larghe 18 cm. Il tipo è stato superato dalla var. decora. Richiede una
composta abbastanza fertile. La temperatura ideale, in inverno, dovrebbe essere di 12, 5 oC, se scende al di sotto è opportuno sospendere le annaffiature che, in ogni caso, devono essere moderate, mentre è necessaria una certa umidità atmosferica. La propagazione avviene per talee di stelo o fogliari, fatte radicare a temperature alciùanto elevate e comunque non inferiori ai 26 oC. Asia tropicale.
‘Decora’: fl più grandi, con guaina rossa involucrante l’apice vegetativo. 529, p. 67; ‘Schryveriana’: leggermente più delicata, è una delle selezioni migliori. 53o, p. 67.

Naturkautschuk, früher einfach Kautschuk genannt, auch als Gummi elasticum oder Resina elastica bezeichnet, ist ein gummiartiger Stoff im Milchsaft (Latex) vieler verschiedener Kautschukpflanzen. Der kautschukführende Latex liegt meistens als milchige Flüssigkeit vor, er kann aber auch in halbfester Form in den Pflanzen enthalten sein. Der Milchsaft schmeckt angenehm, ähnlich süßem Rahm und ist genießbar.
Das deutsche Wort Kautschuk ist ein Lehnwort aus französisch caoutchouc und geht über spanisch cauchuc, früher caucho, auf eine indigene Sprache Perus zurück.[3] Im Tupi bzw. Quechua steht der Ausdruck caa ochu, gebildet aus den Wörtern caa ‘Baum’, ‘Holz’ und ochu ‘Träne’, ‘Blut’, für das „weinende“, „blutende Holz“ oder „Tränen des Baumes“. In Bezug auf den bei Rindenverletzungen fließenden Milchsaft wurde der Ausdruck in das Spanische übernommen als caucho, auch einen Gummisammler bezeichnend. Der französische, 1743–1745 den Amazonas bereisende La Condamine nannte das eingesammelte Produkt caoutchouc; den Milchsaft nannte er Latex, zu spanisch leche ‘Milch’, bzw. lateinisch latex ‘Flüssigkeit’ (von altgriechisch látax ‘Tropfen’).
Ursprünglich war Kautschuk die Bezeichnung für den Naturkautschuk; mit der Entwicklung von Synthesekautschuken werden heute als „Kautschuk“ alle hochpolymeren Stoffe bezeichnet, die bei Raumtemperatur amorph sind, eine niedrige Glastemperatur haben und bei Temperaturerhöhung über eine zunehmende Plastizität verfügen. Heute stellt Naturkautschuk weniger als die Hälfte des produzierten Kautschuks; 60 % des weltweiten Kautschuk-Bedarfs werden durch Synthesekautschuk gedeckt.

Again these are a few of the many images we have from this past autumn fungi season, of which we are trying to post the photos as we catch up after a long period away from Flickr.
Nongriat Village, near Cherrapunji < Meghalaya
The living bridges of Meghalaya, India are made from the roots of the Ficus elastica tree. This tree produces a series of secondary roots from higher up its trunk and can comfortably perch atop huge boulders along the riverbanks, or even in the middle of the rivers themselves. The War-Khasis, a tribe in Meghalaya, long ago noticed this tree and saw in its powerful roots an opportunity to easily cross the area's many rivers. Now, whenever and wherever the need arises, they simply grow their bridges.
In order to make a rubber tree's roots grow in the right direction - say, over a river - the Khasis use betel nut trunks, sliced down the middle and hollowed out, to create root-guidance systems.
The thin, tender roots of the rubber tree, prevented from fanning out by the betel nut trunks, grow straight out. When they reach the other side of the river, they're allowed to take root in the soil. Given enough time, a sturdy, living bridge is produced.The root bridges, some of which are over a hundred feet long, take ten to fifteen years to become fully functional, but they're extraordinarily strong - strong enough that some of them can support the weight of fifty or more people at a time.Because they are alive and still growing, the bridges actually gain strength over time - and some of the ancient root bridges used daily by the people of the villages around Cherrapunji may be well over five hundred years old.
