I love capturing the play of light and shade on flowers, and
convolvulus flowers provide rich chiaroscuro effects.
Convolvulus arvensis (Field Bindweed) is a species of
bindweed, native to Europe and Asia. It is a climbing or creeping herbaceous perennial plant. Despite blooming by day, I find their violet colour to be quite nocturnal.

White morning glory,
Ipomoea (from the Greek words ιπς (ips) or ιπος (ipos), meaning "worm" or "bindweed," and όμοιος (homoios), meaning "resembling"), is the largest genus in the flowering plant family
Convolvulaceae, which contains 500 species. The genus occurs throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and comprises annual and perennial herbaceous plants, lianas, shrubs and small trees; most of the species are twining climbing plants.

As usual, you take the commonplace, and elevate it to something special. You do have that gift!
