Chattering in the wind ...

Scientific name: Indigofera astragalina
Silky indigo is an erect or spreading annual up to 1.5 m tall. The stems are hairy with stiff brown hairs. Leaves are compound. Inflorescence is a receme with 25 mm long stalk. Pink flowers are 1 cm long. As i went on to shoot a morning glory, as a surprise gift, it presented itself to be shot. With a happy lens i shot this flower on 10th September 2011 from the wild growth of tree mulberry plantations in CSRTI, Mysore. I found it very difficult to shoot as it was busy chattering with the cool windy breeze!
