Hello Ron,
Got it!
Thank you for the fine points for differentiating between the two.

Hello Ron,
Thank you for your comment.
How can we differentiate my photo between Ipomoea tricolor and Ipomoea purpurea? Since reading your comment, I have done a bit of research, and it seems that the differences are resolved not by the flower color but by the leaves (hairy or smooth) the pedicel shape and length, and the shape of the seeds.
Best,
Lynn
