I am not quite sure what this nil is eventually gonna be...What's most fascinating is that the dragon shape (?) or is it cicada shape (?) is asymmetrical and alternates in its asymmetry. You need to look closely at the leaves above and under the clothes peg. One time the little appendix is on the left "wing" and then it's on the right wing and vice a versa. It will be interesting to see if the blooms next to these leaves also differ...Morning glories are just so full of inspiration and mystery as Karen alias bluespiral used to say...
