Morning Glories: I got one., 1 by Colderwild

I came back from a short trip this afternoon, to find that my little pot of flower vines has been busy.

On Friday morning when I left, I had a Flying Saucer and a Picotee Blue that were halfway open, presumably because of cloudy conditions outside and the mostly-closed blinds next to them. I could see enough of the Picotee Blue to see that it was at least something of a "double", with little petal-like things inside instead of a stamen. That one had closed by this afternoon, and been replaced by another flower with normal structures. The two Flying Saucers on top bring my total on that one to four blooms, none of which have anything really resembling the "blue rays on a white field" patterning that I'd been expecting. Instead, they've been a sort of uniform pale blue with sort of a star in the folds of the corolla(?). I suspect that this may be resultant from growing them indoors, in relatively low-light conditions as compared to an outdoor, full-sun planting.

Overall, this has been an interesting project, as I've hardly ever grown flowering plants of any sort prior to this, let alone anything with as wide a variety of colorations and habits. I'm looking forward to planting a bunch of them outdoors and watching them develop and climb.
