Neon Nova's coloration is pretty unique. Always very bright and incredibly bright when it blooms in cooler weather. You're correct Patty. That is a tropical Morning Glory named "Blue Dawn". I purchased it online as a cutting from http://www.buyplantsonline.com. Right now I only see it available on that website as a potted plant in either a 1 gallon or 5 gallon container. Since it's a tropical variety of Morning Glory it even blooms down here in South Florida during the heat and humidity of summer. The 3-4 inch blooms open up right before dawn and are a bright violet blue that completely change to pink by later in the day. Here's a photo I took this morning reflecting the bloom color during the morning hours. Hope this information is helpful.
