Here is a photo that someone posted on Flickr. I haven't seen a blue with such pink throats, does anybody know what this is called?

baolvera - The MG in the photo is Ipomoea indica as entered in the PlantFiles here

Some strains may show different amounts of fuchia in the throat...

The bloom in the photo you posted has a particularly nice and rich looking fuchia throat and tube...

My I. indica flowered this week. It is a knock out flower, but you have to keep reins on the vines, it spreads very fast across the countryside.

A program called Photoshop does wonders for pink throats! I don't know if this is the case here, but it sure is attractive.

I don't know if the person that took the photo altered it in any way, but I had not seen such intensity of color in the throats before.

that doesn't look real to me. A little photoshop color saturation playing around.
