You may have noticed I have a thing for Morning Glories. I bought and planted a packet of seeds in the spring. I was excited when a few vines sprouted. Then, nothing. All summer long.
About two weeks ago Ted spotted one bloom at the top of the arbor. I was happy I hadn’t take the vine down. The vines grew. Then suddenly this:
For any non-gardeners, these are one day blooms that will be shriveled up by the end of the day.
We had some rain shortly after the sun came up which made some interesting patterns.
This one lagged behind opening.
The blossom itself is quite delicate, I’m not sure what caused this damage.
I do hope the plant can take a touch of frost; the weather forecast is predicting 38 F (3 C) for tonight. Not that they are ever wrong!

Stunning pictures on beutiful flowers, where you can see the sun shining through.
Thank you, Hans!
I’m impressed
😉
Magnificent photos Ellen, the color and light are just beautiful. 🙂
Just beautiful
Thank you!
I also have a special fondness for Morning Glory. Part of my story of Grace. ❄️💙. The arbor is great as they do tend to go everywhere.
This planting on the arbor worked out well as this MG vine covered a Trumpet Vine, which lost its leaves way back in August. I do hope some flowers will produce seeds for next year 😃 .
Beautiful series as well as color, Ellen, well done from seed start to now!
Thanks, Donna! It turned out to be an impressive show and I’m happy to report that Monday night’s frost did not kill the plant. No sign of another frost in the long term forecast so we’ll get to enjoy this for awhile.
