You are all being so beastly about the Morning Glory (Ipomoea indica) that
I have to put in a word in it's favour, for as a painter I consider it one
of the most beautiful flowers.It comes up every year in my garden here on
the Med. and I love it with all its faults. An apparently simple shape and
colour, and then as one looks deeper and more closely it becomes
impossible to say exactly what colour it is; the fine delicate petals, the
deep indents, the subtle curves; it reacts to the slightest breeze, and
changes shape as the day goes on; I could go on too, however I think you
get the picture.
