Fiona's iNaturalist Journal Entry
Of my ten observations I chose to take a closer look at the Common Morning-Glory (Ipomoea purpurea) using OneZoom. The Ipomoea purpurea is part of the genus Ipomoea (also known as Morning-Glory) which includes 645 different species. The Ipomoea purpurea is also part of the Convolvulaceae family and belongs to the Plantae kingdom.
A common adaptation of all my plant observations is that they all have flowers. Each flower type has adapted for more effective pollination, including the adaptation of the physical structure of the flowers for insects to best collect pollen.
A unique adaptation of the Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is that their blooms are affected by the pH of the soil they're grown in. In acidic soil they will produce a flower closer to blue, and pink flowers in alkaline soil.
