Ipomoea purpurea - glory in the morning

No surprise to me that the seeds are hallucinogenic-- just looking at the flower makes me hallucinate.

I'm going to have to pull this one out of the lantana, but oh, it will be painful. The flowers are enchanting.

Am I the only one fascinated by the back of flowers as well?

There is one growing in my neighborhood. They have it growing on a fence, but its reddish in colour. Funny thing, this summer I went on a birding trip far from the city and carpooled. The guy I carpooled with is a parks department guy with a major plant fetish...I mean hobby, just like me. We got to talking about my neighborhood trees and he had noticed a plant growing on someone's fence and described. He figured I would never know what he is talking about. I spit out the name Ipomoea and he was surprised anyone else would even notice the plant. I guess we plant nerds geek out over the same stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
