@Zlatan, I love chasing the ID of unknown ( to me) spottings...I find it so stress busting to scroll through images....so glad the hunch was correct.
that is a nice one, I love how Morning Glory has a different color at the edges of the funnel versus the base. see this one I shot in Sri Lanka, also wrapped around a tree: https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31...
Thanks Sukanya - always a pleasure to tick some unidentified ones off. Thanks Jazz.man too.
I agree, Morning Glory.
To my eyes looks like Ipomoea. (Morning Glory...such a wide variety)
