April2010

A picture from the Hubble Telescope of a new-born galaxy? Perhaps a photograph with special equipment that can see into someone's mind during an acid trip? Nope. This week, Jonathan has give us the inner sanctum of the Morning Glory. The simple beauty of this flower belies its amazing history. The Aztec priests in Mexico used it as a hallucinogen. And Japan made it one of its prime ornamental decorations in the 9th Century.
