Morning Glories: A Small Bloom on Common JMG, 1 by Txwillie

I don't have a sophisticated camera to send the good closeups, but once in awhile I take a shot that comes out pretty fair. Like this picture of a JMG that had blooms of 2 1/4". In talking to Ron about variety, he said it was similar to Star of India or Robe types, just not as large in bloom. Got the seed for this from a gardener in Japan and kept it in storage for about 3 years before planting. Got real good germination, but have been fighting the worms getting into the seed pods and destroying seeds. Hope I end up with enough seeds to carry on the "fight".

Don't know if the eggs are being laid within the bloom or drilled in after the seed pod forms. Has anyone had experience with these seed eaters and will spraying the pods help head 'em off?
