Thanks Ron. I changed the species. Looks correct.
There is no ultra-specific part that I can focus upon , but I have grown these for most 50+ years and I know this cxorolla as Ipomoea purpurea , specifically the Star of Yelta cultivar...
I love these flowers. They grow wildly here. The name reminds me of the song...what's the story..morning glory. :)
Love the way the light is shining out of the Morning glory. Were these planted or growing wild? Apparently they were known in China for centuries.
