Blue Dawn Flower



Common name - Blue Dawn Flower, Oceanblue morning-glory, Blue morning-glory



I saw the vine very nicely allowed to climb onto a pillar at the Hitex Convention Centre, at Hyderabad.

  The flowers open in the morning and fade to magenta by evening. Unfortunately I did not stay there long enough to see that happen.  This plant can also grow all over if left unheeded.  

Botanical name: Ipomoea indica    Family: Convolvulaceae (Morning glory family)
