Ipomea tricolor?

Question

To all the Ipomea aficionados out there

I came across this one on a puddle jumping expedition, would i be correct in assuming that it is Ipomea tricolor?

Did it have both heart shaped and this shaped leaves?

Ive never seen any other morning glories other than that and 'coastal morning glory' in and around Brisbane growing wild.

Similar but no prize, there is an indica growing about 50' further back & is quite different. I'm not entirely sure the one in the pic is actually wild.

The only other sp I could think would be purpurea. There are lots of varieties of purpurea that look similar to the pic. Has the vine set seeds? That would be my next question.

This appears to be the same as one i've found recently, is there anything special about it or ? Looks pretty but grows like a weed.
