"Convolvulaceae: Exploring the Beauty and Diversity of Morning Glories" Plate 86 showcases the mesmerizing Liseron, also known as Convolvulus tricolor. Its vibrant colors and delicate petals are a true feast for the eyes. At Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Florida, Morning Glory (Ipomoea hederacea) blooms gracefully, adding a touch of elegance to its surroundings. In Cyprus during April, an enchanting sight unfolds as Blue morning flowers (Ipomoea indica) cover the ground with their stunning blossoms and create a carpet of leaves. Nature's intricate relationships come to light as Common dodder (Cuscuta epithymum) parasitically attaches itself to Gorse (Ulex sp. ) at Land's End in Cornwall, UK. This captivating interaction reminds us of the interconnectedness within ecosystems. The artistic brilliance captured on paper is evident in F. 7 Calystegia affinis from 1790-95 and F. 6 Wickstroemia Australis; Ipomea from the same period. The watercolors and ink bring these botanical wonders to life. Delahaye's exquisite watercolor painting from 1789 portrays Sweet potato (Ipomea batatas), showcasing not only its culinary value but also its aesthetic appeal. Page 35 introduces us to Ipomoea palmata from around 1803-06, where pencil strokes blend seamlessly with watercolors, pen lines, and ink details - a testament to nature's intricacy even on paper. Jacquemontia coelestis or Beach clustervine adds charm with its dainty blue flowers that grace sandy shores with their presence. Lastly, Field bindweed - Convolvulus arvensis (Helxine cissampelos) demonstrates resilience by thriving amidst various landscapes worldwide. Its ability to adapt serves as inspiration for overcoming challenges.
