Morning Glory

The back view is beautiful too. A purple Morning Glory from my balcony garden.


Fun and interesting fact: By soaking the flowers from the Morning Glory in water for a couple of weeks you can create a mildly alcoholic wine with a good flavor and mild psychedelic effect. You can add herbs or honey to this to enhance the flavor.

I really like your perspective of the morning glory blossom in this picture. I didn't realize what you could do with the blossoms.. I'll file that for future reference.

Morning glories have to be one of the best flowers to capture, because they look so good from all angles!
