Morning Glories: Moonflower Vine Question, 1 by Mimidi

I made this picture early yesterday morning. A friend gave me some seeds in mid June and told me the vine would cover my trellis in no time. How right she was. I just planted the seeds and watered them and up they came. They were planted in very poor, sandy soil. I did make the mistake of fertilizing them some.

My whole family has been amazed at the moon flowers. My husband did ask me why I wanted a plant tha only blooms at night. My granddaughters and I have stood and watched them open at night. They will look at them and say, "Mimi it's shaking!" as the bloom opens. They smell so good. Reminds me of Jessica McClintock perfume.

Next year I plant to plant the seeds much earlier.
