Hi Mingsmimi,
This might be the common one but I do love it, so big and such a beautiful blue. I have a rose trellis with an old pink rose that blooms only once in the spring, this year I put two Heavenly Blues at the base of each side of the rose on this arbor, that MG is climbing in and out of the rose and surprising us with a touch of blue here and there. Your vine here looks so vigorous and healthy.Joann

I thought I had some heavenly blues around somewhere. but. so far,. no one is blooming. I do so love morning glories. I can not imagine not growing them. They are such fun to wake up to!. Each and every day is different.... and if I spy a new shoot just starting I pray it grows up fast enough before the frost comes so I can see its glory!

Are "common" MGs and Grandpa Otts the same thing? Yes, I agree with everyone! They are ALL Soooo beautiful! Every-morning these vines give us gifts of new blooms! I too can't wait to see what each new day brings! I've planted at least 6 identifieable "named" MGs in containers (want to trade seeds later)and need name but this one doesn't have a name because I harvested these seeds from someone who hadn't even noticed that the vine was there! She was my old apartment manager. If I were her I would have moved my desk right in front of the window to get the best view of the show!
