Garden: Blue Morning Glories

This is one of the many Morning Glories that we have on our fence. I keep them because they are my mom's favorite flower, they are so pretty.

I am going to plant some store bought seeds next Spring as these have been growing from their own seed pods for the last six years and they are getting sparse. They are so beautiful! This one is one of the more unusual looking ones, the other is halfway between opening and closing.

I planted my Morning Glories in the ground right under my porch edge. Then I put a fan shaped trellis for them to climb over. Knowing from experience, they are going to go way over, I placed a an old chair there at the top for them to run over. I think it worked great. They were pretty from the ground over the trellis and pretty on the porch as they spilled over.

Don't forget to save the seeds. After the flower blooms there is a brown pod with about 5-6 seeds inside. Be careful when you open them because the will pop out and you will lose them. Great picture and they look really healthy. (09/18/2009)

Yes, they are very beautiful, but here in my state of Australia, they are declared a noxious weed, and it is forbidden to plant them, as they take over everything, and literally smother native plants. So just keep an eye on them and make sure they don't over run any other plants you may want to have around. (09/21/2009)

These are some morning glories that I had to cover a chain link fence. They are called Heavenly Blue. I did not think they would flower and was about to rip them out but all of a sudden they started blooming. The white ones are called moonflowers.

Opening the back door to this display of morning glories was a breath-taking pleasure.

Thanks for sharing. I have them growing all over the place. In the summer our house looks like a blooming house. The fence looks the same. Good luck. (05/07/2009)

A Hiaku Poem I wrote for a poetry unit in the 7th grade.

I must go begging
for water, morning glories
have captured my well.

Lol, I was in love with the idea of living in a castle which had vines and glories trailing all the outer walls. Thanks for the pic! (05/07/2009)

I love your "glories" They look lovely with the golden contrast of the Rudbeckia. Gives me an idea. I'm going to plant my black eyed Susan near my morning glories this year. Thanks for submitting your beautiful picture. (05/08/2009)

I saw a haiku years ago which I kept posted over my desk. It was

morning glories,
a trumpet which only blows
the color blue."

This is a shot of my lovely morning glories this past summer - you can see the coxcomb in the background. This was a glorious sight first thing in the morning with dew sparkling on them!

They are gorgeous, I don't have such great luck with morning glories, but they are one of my favorite flower. Usually I don't even get any blossoms til like Sept.,and I don't fertilize cuz I read that doing so will promote foliage instead of blossoms, do you do anything special to get all those blooms on there?

Those sure bring back sweet memories! My precious Grandma used to have them climbing up one end of her front porch behind her porch swing. That woman could make anything grow! Thanks for sharing! (01/28/2009)
