I fell in love with this perennial vine because of it's deep ocean blue colored flowers that turn violet blue by midday, then lavender. It's somewhat invasive, so not for small trellises, but always covered with blooms! For those who grow morning glories...think of the common delicate 'Heavenly Blue' variety as a kitty cat...and this perennial (Ipomoea indica) as a lion! lol Thought this shot of 2 "competing" blooms was unusual and interesting.

Well, well, well...........you did it again. How do you capture such beautiful shots? This seems almost unreal but when you look closely you can tell how real they are. Each one is a beauty in its own way................and together it is just astounding. Greaat job

This is wonderful. The blue is sublime and the pink center sets it off so well. I would take a chance on the invasiveness in my garden if I lived in a more tropical area. Thanks for showing this one off.

That's really cool! The symmetry is pretty nice - normally i would prefer a different angle for a good composition, but with the "twins", symmetry is great. Very nice color!

Love the turquoise here! The glow here is beautiful also. Wonderful shot! And they do look like twins - identical or fraternal??
