Can anyone identify this vine?

I bought this vine recently. Loved the butterfly shaped leaves which reminded me of oxalis. But this one is a vine.

It looks somewhat like our beach morning glory, Ipomoea pes-caprae. I am astonished that they seem to sell so many unlabeled plants around you, Jay. If no one knows what they are, how do they know they will grow in your climate?

This is a kind of morning glory? So,will it produce flowers? The nursery scene here is pathetic Douglas Hunt! The answer i got was that it is a vine that grows near ponds! :)

As to selling plants without a label, Walmart is #1 in this department. She may be in India, but I bet she got it at Walmart.
