Dear Dinesh, I feel this is not Ipomoea nil, but Ipomoea indica (syn: I. learii). The reason is the following: Ipomoea nil flowers have sepals which are narrow-linear at the top, and suddenly widen at the base. The sepals seen in the picture are generally linear. Hairiness of the sepals also looks different. (actually it is the color of the flower which made me think that it may not be I. nil - I have only seen light blue I. nil) Please have a look at these two links: http://jardimformoso.blogspot.com/2009/01/ipomea-learii.html http://malherbologie.cirad.fr/Advenrun/especes/i/iponi/dessin_iponi.html I would request others to voice their views, as I am not sure on this issue. - Tabish
