We Got Some Morning Glories

Molly has been wanting morning glories. We picked up seeds to try them, and they grew, and they are blooming nicely now.

The funny thing is the neighbor lady was complaining about our vines. She is too dumb to realize they are flowers. We were hoping they would climb on the porch railing and pole, and that is what they did.

Nan and Pop would hate them. They had some that grew that I always liked, but they “hated those damn things” because they said they choked the other flowers when they climbed on them.

The ones they had were a very light, whitish pink, but these ones we got have much more color. It would be great if they reseeded themselves and kept coming back.

This is a photo of a pink morning glory flower. It has some very thin purple stripes radiating out from the center.

Purple Morning Glory

Here is a picture of a very dark purple morning glory bloom. The center is slightly lighter..

Morning glories always intrigued me as a kid because they were open in the morning and all but gone by midday. That was unique to me. They were at eye level and easy for me to see, so that may have been a factor with my poor vision.
