This greeted me when I got up today, I was wondering, why are some of them full size like this one and some are smaller? I am getting in the gardening frenzy, I want to get out and clean up the flower beds and watch for new growth, and the weather keeps me from doing that. But I can enjoy my mg while the cold wind blows.
It is 64 degrees outside so I put the morning glories in the windowsill so they could get some sunshine. I obviously did not pull up all the naked lady plants outside, I was taking pics of the flowers coming up and there were naked lady leaves coming up. When I download the flower pics I took this afternoon, you will see I will have a lot of Irises this summer, I pulled up the dead stems of my Cosmos too, the Morning Glory vines are very hard to pull down I have to be careful so I don't pull the trellis down. They are really there to stay. But there will be pictures and hopefully no questions this summer and spring.
C.bipinnatus has pink, white, and red flowers, (also mixed- red and pink etc.) while C.sulphureus has yelow, orange, and redish flowers. And wonderful mg flower teddy! Are you going to move it outside when it is warm?
If it survives that long, the Cosmos has pink,red, and white flowers but mostly pink and white and yellow.
My Morning Glory is starting to grow and vine out, remember the other pics when it was so compact and small? Not now, it is starting to go places. Here is the picture I took this morning, another bloom and I wanted to show you how big it has gotten.
The sun is getting brighter and that triggers it to grow....it has been semi-dormant til now.
Imagine the day you look outside and see your morning glory shrouding the trellis or what ever you put it on with flowers! It will be breathtaking!
morning glories are just a beautiful think to awake to! I love eating breakfast looking out at them and then me and my boy go guide them to there next fence board. they grow like crazy overnight with lots of sunlight in the daytime. Beautiful large flowers that almost look fake.
I love morning glories! I have a pot of pink ones growing on my porch for the banister. They aren't blooming yet, but I am pretty certain they are pink as the plants I took them from last fall were pink. Speaking of them, what is most likely eating mine?
Some one mentioned Mimosa Pudica seeds? I have limited success with them. The only one I managed to grow was after I had knicked the hard outer shell (maybe I knicked it in the right place?). It later died after getting about 4 inches tall, from to much heat/sun. =(
That was me Robym i bought some and wanted to se if anyone knew about them. i recently visited texas and saw some pretty wild Ipomea, forgive me if i spelld the wrong! They were a lovely pink.
