Purple-throat Morning Glory (Ipomoea sinensis)

Socotra is still vibrant with life after the generous winter rains this year. Perhaps it is due to the La Nina, and this will be the best winter rains in a few years.

This Purple-throat Morning Glory (Ipomoea sinensis) was large and vibrant, a sign of plenty of moisture. In a year of drought the growth will be stunted, and likely droopy or withered at this time of year.

Native range is Tropical & Subtropical Old World.
