Scientific name: Ipomoea muricata
Purple Moonflower, Lilacbell, Lavender Moonvine is a climber, 3-5 m long, with slender twinning stems, which are purplish and covered with rough projections. Leaves are are heart-shaped, with a heart-shaped base and pointed or shortly tapering tip. Flowers are borne in groups of one to few, purple or pale purple, and open at night. The sight of purple moonflower on your walking ways during early in the morning is a heart filling experience. The graceful look and ever soothing smile goes to your heart. Just to see them i quite often choose the route for my morning walk where they are abundant! These photographs were taken on 3rd and 8th of September 2011 while on my morning walk.
