James, has her morning glories grow up heavy strings and then into this tree every year. It is a beautiful sight to see especially in the morning when the blooms are backlit by morning sunlight. Thank you for your comments.

Now that is amazingly gorgeous. I live in Canada & must sow my morning glories each year ( althought I am sarting to have some re-grouths now after 10 years of sowing but with all the varieties of morning glories I have planted, I never know what will come up (if I am lucky ) & must still re-sow to ensure I have enough to satisfy me. If you like to combine & have blooms morning & night, you might want to try the moonflower vignes which blooms once the sun goes down. A added bonus of the moonflower is the combination of a pepper/baby powder delicate scent.

My neighbor and friend has to re-sow the morning glories every year too. I have had to re-sow moonvines every year and I just love them. I'll give my friend some moonvine seeds to plant along with her morning glory seeds. .Thanks for this suggestion and your comments.

That is beautiful! I bet it is a site to see in the morning. I wonder how many people stop and ask her what kind of tree it is?

Yes, it is a magnificent site especially in the morning when the blooms are backlit by the morning sunlight. I'll have to ask her if anyone has ever asked her what kind of tree it is. :o) Thank you for your comments.
