Plate 86 showcases the enchanting beauty obscura, commonly known as morning glory. This captivating flower can be found in Aubignan, a charming village nestled in the heart of Provence, PACA region in France. The vibrant hues and delicate petals of this Morning Glory species are truly mesmerizing. In Cyprus during April, the Blue morning flower (Ipomoea indica) blooms gracefully, adorning the landscape with its stunning flowers and creating a picturesque carpet of leaves, and is a sight that evokes tranquility and serenity. Venturing to Cortona, Italy reveals another delightful scene - Morning Glories thriving within vase-shaped pots on stone walls. Their tendrils reach out towards the sun, showcasing nature's resilience and determination to flourish even in unexpected places. Delving into history takes us back to 1789 when Delahaye captured the essence of Sweet potato (Ipomea batatas) through his exquisite watercolor painting. This artwork serves as a testament to the timeless allure plants throughout centuries. The Purple morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), also featured here, boasts rich purple blossoms that add an elegant touch to any garden or landscape. Its velvety petals seem almost regal against lush green foliage. Potentilla indica, commonly known as Mock strawberry, shares its space alongside True jalap (Ipomoea dumosa). These unique plants bring diversity and intrigue wherever they grow. Amongst these various species stands Male jalap plant (Ipomoea batatoides), displaying its distinctive features with pride. Its presence adds depth and character to any botanical collection or garden setting. Lastly but certainly not least is Spanish flag or fire vine (Ipomoea lobata). With its fiery red-orange flowers cascading down like flames from above, it ignites passion wherever it grows – an absolute showstopper.
