Ipomoea indica
Gorgeous purple flowers that look very like our morning glory or bindweed here in BC.
These beauties were found along the Coogee to Bondi coastal walk.
A very similar plant to this is present in our area and is truly the most invasive plant I know. We call it bindweed and it has defeated every organic gardening technique we have tried. It is ruining our blueberry fields which we don't want to spray with Roundup like the other farms do:(
The species was designed to colonize other parts of the world as the stems root very easily and are moved over the oceans by hurricanes and / or otherwise by Typhoons , Floods , Tsunamis, Tornadoes and regular ocean currents...
When the global climate changes (and it certainly is) , it is the tough ones that will survive...not anything remotely fragile...
Thanks Ron ! It looks like it this one is invasive too!
Thanks for the ID!
