Syrumani, I hope I'm not being too silly, but I've noticed that some of my Ipomoea nils stay open until sunset - they get alternating filtered light and shade from overhanging trees - especially the F2 generation from a chocolate-rose silk mixture from Emma. Parasols used to shade both tree peony flowers and the Chinese emperor's pate, as he sat among his court gazing upon his pampered treasures.

What if you tried some kind of shading over a blossom about to open during the day while you're away? This might be more of a help as the year continues to age and flowers stay open longer.

Am enjoying everyone's flowers immensely - thanks for sharing
