Here is a photo of a flower growing on my balcony. It's quite interesting, because its colour is turning from brightblue into violet during a day, like the effect, when you change a rgb-pic to cmyk in photoshop. At least interesting for some graphicdesigners

Wondering why this effect of that flower...maybe because as long as the blossom is open, sunlight can shine through the leave (rgb), and when blossom is closed, colour is like printed in cmyk, without the light...any botanics around here?

The flower is called "Prunkwinde" in german (lat.: Ipomoea). Its blossoms pop up in the morning, fade in the afternoon, and fall off during the next days. And this over a period of 3 months. The plant is entwining around almost everything, like thin wire, so you can fix it easily onto a wall for example. Seed inside the capsules can be grown in the next season.

why don't you show us those OTHER flowers?

watch your own!

I think those are known as morning glories here in the states. They are light sensitive and only open in daylight (hence the name). So the color changing could be related to the photo-sensitivity in the blossom.
