Purple glory ...

Scientific name: Argyreia cuneata
Purple morning glory is a perennial climbing shrub, 1-2 m high. Bright purple funnel shaped flowers are a wonderful sight, which makes you cheerful. The flowers are 5 cm long. The plant is native to India. One plant is beautifully growing in the front garden of my institute (CSRTI) at Mysore. Parallelly it grows in wild with profuse flowering in different parts of the same campus. I photographed these flowers in the morning of 19th August, 2011 just in front of the institute.
