My mom is an avid gardener, she loves flowers of all types but she has mentioned to me many times how blue Morning Glorys are hard to get started. The purple ones are prolific & in fact almost impossible to get rid of...but I thought she'd enjoy these blue flowers almost as if they were real. One of my first attempts at some serious water coloring. Not all that difficult to make, but time-consuming.
