Observing the morning glories that are blooming profusely – have you seen them? This one is a deep blue-violet purple. I love the geometry of this plant in its various stages of growth.In Japan, there is a mania for collecting and appreciating blue morning glories from every shade of deep indigo to celestial blue. Dating back to the Edo period, it was customary to have summer markets in the early morning where enthusiasts would trade plants and seedlings. It was all about the many colors of blue. This one is called “ai”, to mean the refreshing feeling one has in the summer, or the colors of the distant hills. Fascinating to know that Japan has such a deep cultural appreciation of color that reflects the surrounding landscape………..#morningglory #morningwalk #summertime #violet #purple #green #flower #flowerlover #colorstudy #colorpalette #color #meditation #watercolor #sketch #plants #garden #gardenlover #dscolor #creativepractice #flashof delight #coloroftheday #colorful #summercolors #plantgeometry
