Courtesy Wikimedia / The genus Ipomoea (pronounced /ˌɪpoʊˈmiːə/, from the Greek ips ~ ipos, wormweed or bindweed, and homoeos, resembling, referring to the twining habit) is the largest in the family Convolvulaceae, with over 500 species. Most of these are called “morning glories”, but this can refer to related genera also. Those formerly separated in Calonyction (Greek καλός, kalos, good and νύκτα, nycta, night) are called “moonflowers”. The genus occurs throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and comprises annual and perennial herbaceous plants, lianas, shrubs and small trees; most of the species are twining climbing plants.

Human use of Ipomoea is threefold: First, most species have spectacular, colorful flowers and are often grown as ornamental plants, and a number of cultivars have been developed. Their deep flowers attract large Lepidoptera – especially Sphingidae such as the Pink-spotted Hawkmoth (Agrius cingulata) -, or even hummingbirds. Second, the genus includes food crops; the tubers of Sweet Potato and the leaves of Water Spinach are commercially important food items and have been for millennia. The Sweet Potato is one of the Polynesian “canoe plants”, transplanted by settlers on islands all over that ocean. Water Spinach is used all over eastern Asia and the warmer regions of the Americas as a key component of well-known dishes such as Canh chua rau muống (Mekong sour soup) or Callaloo; its numerous local names attest to its popularity. Other species are used on a smaller scale, e.g. the Whitestar Potato (I. lacunosa) traditionally eaten by some Native Americans like the Chiricahua Apaches, or the Australian Bush Potato (I. costata). Peonidin, an anthocyanidin potentially useful as a food additive, is present in significant quantities in the flowers of the “Heavenly Blue” cultivars.

focus: super macro i always wondered how people got the awesome droplet effect, because i could never find it naturally. i thought i needed a dropper or something! and then when i was scaling my back fence (forgot my house keys) i saw the grass down the side entirely covered in perfect little droplets.

A very misty September morning mixed with a burgeoning arachnid population meant that the garden was full of nature’s very own art.
Spider web in Cades Cove covered in morning dew.
Morning dew on the grass was sparkling so brightly I had to get down into it and get a close look at all the droplets that were giving the ground such shimmer! It was amazing to me how many droplets a single blade of grass could hold…

Dewdrops strung along the silvery strand of a spider web on a foggy,early September morning. There was a breeze blowing which made capturing these little jewels quite difficult. / Taken with a Nikon D60 Tamron 28-75 lens f 2.8
Crisp dew drops. / Columbine leaves.
Early morning dew barely clinging to the water repellent surfaces of Habarala leaves (Alocasia macrorhiza), before being thrown out by the slightest of a movement.
