and I really find myself wanting to say Ipanema and be on a beach in Brazil.
In particular Ipomea batatas, commonly Sweet Potato Vine, or Ipomea indica, commonly Blue Dawn Flower, but the genus has upwards of 500 species including many morning glories. The ornamental trailing vine I am writing about has leaves ranging from a vibrant chartreuse to a deep bronzy purple. Good in full sun to partial shade. I have been using these in a lot of the planters at work because of the size/shape/colors of the leaves and their tolerance of sun conditions.
The flower belongs to I. indica and the vine leaves are I. batatas.
