Dany and Helena - Your blooms are just beautiful! I love all the blue! :-) Cool patterns on some of these blooms! :-)

The temps are really dipping low tonight into the 40's, so don't know if that will finish off my vines or if they will survive. I know most nils don't like the temps to get under 60 degrees. No blooms today because it was cool last night too, but it is supposed to start warming up tomorrow and will back up in the high 70's and low 80's the rest of the week. I have to admit that I am enjoying the cooler temps! It's been a hot year! I wish it would go from sweltering to cooler and then to cold. It just jumps from hot to cold which probably shocks all my plants. Luckily, no frost. This is early that we are getting such cold temps. Middle to late November is usual for this kind of lows, so not sure if we are going to get a cold Winter here in south Florida this year ...

I managed to take some photos of some more of my vines. We've had more rain and I am seeing rust on most of the vines now. :-( So these vines may not survive long enough to produce ripe seeds with the fungus attacking them and the colder temps. But I have my fingers crossed!

This is an unusual shaped Moonflower Bloom. I've been getting quite a few blooms on the arbor the past week. Really beautiful blooms!
