I think these may be my new favorite flowers...


I don't even know what to call them, but how could you not revel in a plant that bears two different colors on the same stem...


Or even the same bloom, in an infinite variety of speckles, stripes and patches...


Besides, the magenta and yellow color combination is the epitome of tropical luxury.

  1. I wonder if they are in the morning glory family (Convolvulus). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolvulus.

    I like the last two striped ones the best.

  2. Well, Convolvulus is the genus name, the family is Convolvulaceae. It is the same genus as field bindweed, which has pretty flowers, but climbs all over where you don't really want it.
