EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting depicts the Ipomoea indica, commonly known as the Morning Glory or Blue Bindweed, as captured by the skilled hand of artist John Frederick Miller during Captain James Cook's historic first voyage across the Pacific Ocean from 1768 to 1771. The original outline drawing was made by Sydney Parkinson, a naturalist on board the HMS Endeavour. The Morning Glory is a beautiful and iconic flowering plant belonging to the Convolvulaceae family, order Solanales, and class Eudicot. It is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary, and is further classified as a magnoliophyta, a type of flowering plant that first appeared during the Carboniferous period. The Ipomoea indica is a climbing plant that can grow up to 15 feet long, with trumpet-shaped flowers that open in the morning and close at night. The plant's vines are known to twine around other plants and structures, making it a common sight in gardens and natural habitats alike. This exquisite watercolor painting, created by Miller from Parkinson's original outline drawing, is a testament to the natural beauty and scientific curiosity that characterized Cook's voyage. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 18th century and the wonders of discovery that defined that era. The Morning Glory continues to be a popular ornamental plant today, and its vibrant blue flowers remain a source of inspiration and delight for gardeners and nature lovers alike.
