I've learned that
Morning Glory flowers come in several colors. And, I've learned that the purple variety is
impossible to photograph in true color with my camera :(
The bottom photo is the closest I was able to get to capturing the flower in its true purple shade, using a borrowed camera.
What I'm trying to say is I was so inspired by the color
(which you can't see!) that I dyed a batch of thread to capture the colors of that flower. The hand dyed thread
does come pretty close to the bright deep pink and purples I see!
My photos of the thread are fairly good, but those darn flowers - I just had to put them in the photos,

anyway. Then I added this rather lame statement to most of the listings, "Inspired by the bright pink to dark violet colors of a purple variety of Morning Glory flowers. (The flowers photographed showing blue, but there is no blue in this batch.)"
Confused yet??
