Early morning light at the Chicago Botanic Garden - I don't how a Japanese morning glory differs from any other but that was how it was described. Here is some info from Wikipedia:" Ipomoea nil is a species of Ipomoea morning glory known by several common names, including picotee morning glory, ivy morning glory, and Japanese morning glory. It is native to most of the tropical world, and has been introduced widely elsewhere."

What a beautiful foofy and well presented. I like the mirrored edge effect.

Kathy, this 'trumpet' sounds all over the world: "Realize that I am beautiful, though my beauty will last for only a very short time.", lol. Very fine capture again!

The difference is that the Japanese morning glory only blooms in the morning sun. It always faces east which is good to know if you ever get lost among the flowers and can't be bothered to ask the florist where the exit is. These and many other facts can be made up from the thoughts of a sleep deprived mind.

A good close up on the flower, Kathy. Nice lighting and shade in the image. And you really can't fault those colours for adding a little something to the image. Otherwise it would be monotone.
