Yellow (albeit much more common than any type of orange) is also a relatively rare color pigment in Morning Glories and it remains to be clarified if there is actually a 'true orange' pigment occurring in any MG's or if any orange coloration (as perceived by the human eye) simply represents various admixtures of yellow and reddish colored pigmentations...
