The legend of Beach morning glory flowers

In my village, people often tell an ancient story  as follows:

There is a guy named Sea. He's in love with a girl named  Morning Glory. One day, the guy must be at sea fishing. A storm has scuttled his ship. And forever he does not return.

The people in my village believe that this flower is a girl

At the beach, his lover still do not know. She was still wait him to return, day after day.

Until one day, she was dead on the coast. Her body turned into beach morning glory species that grows on the coast, is characterized by its rise always toward the sea, as if to wait for him.

Therefore, the meaning of the beach morning glory flower is the waiting of love.
