Flower Power


You might be wondering who I am, and why this blog has appeared on your screen. My name is Phythia Peony, and I am the best child of Aphrodite. Of course, others would likely say otherwise, but just do not listen to them. Listen to me instead! Anyways, being a child of Aphrodite comes with many perks. For one my beauty is drop-dead gorgeous, although that has nothing to do with my mother. Aphrodite children aren't just shallow and all about their looks, except me I am but can you blame me?! I mean look at me! So I am getting a tad off-topic, one of the perks is being able to make a flower bloom. In this bi-weekly blog, we shall take a closer look at flowers. Their beauty, their purpose, and of course appreciate the many different kinds. If you would like to learn about any other flowers, send me an Iris Message.
 
 
Ipomoea
This weeks flower is known as Ipomoea, other common names for it are moonflower, morning glory, water spinach, and sweet potato. The colors of a Impomoea are typically pink, purple, blue, white, and on occasion a mixture of all these colors. Many actually believe this plant to be a weed, but it is rather a beauty. It is native to South and Central America, but it can also be grown within greenhouses as well. The flower has a few meanings which are: love in vain, love, death, and even life. The use of the flower is to just look at because it is really pretty. There is some traces of it being used in herbalism as well as a few food dishes.
