trifunov I am so glad to still see these wonderful flowers blooming at this time of the year. "Only in the South" can we push our luck like this. I think you will get seed off these blooms to and I hope you can have many more just like them and all of the others out there to.

rh3708 Morning Glorys tend to have some varations in color no matter what they are. Some will be true to there color from the first bloom to the last and some are prone to mutations, could be they have some genes in the background and some of the flowers show it and some don't and it could be the lighting.

This is (my best guess a )Flying Saucer, I think it was planted with another batch of Flying Saucers in about 50/50 sun and shade so I'm pretty sure it came from the same package. The sister flower is well striped and looks like the traditional Flying Saucers, but this one has spent the entire summer in the shade and has just began to bloom since the leaves are falling off the trees.........go figure. It is almost pure White, with a few specks of blue and a streak here and there that tells me where it came from. So I would say the lighting has some to do with color.

Neglected to say
I kept a chart of where I planted my Morning Glorys and after I looked at it I must say
I think this one could have been moved by the Armadillos in the spring or It could be the Clarks Heavenly Blue I had in the area as well. Either way it still should not be white with a few specks of blue. So I still think the lighting had some to do with it.
