Actually I guess it is only illegal in some states, like Florida, but not others, like texas. This is water morning glory, aka water spinach, aka ong choi.

I am absolutely obsessed with Thai style stir fried morning glory. What is the official name/species of the morning glory plant? Is it the same as water spinach? Can you grow it yourself easily? One of my most favorite Thai foods. I am saliavting just thinking about eating it with a simple bowl of white rice right now. Any stores sell it if you can't grow it?
