My Morning Glory Pics

They have always been a favorite flower of mine. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Another shot.

Close-up shot.

Two colors.

Last one for now.

Beautiful! I just can't get over how morning glory's alway look like they have little lights in their throats!

I like them! I think I'll have to grow some of the I. purpurea this next year. Gorgeous!

gardenpom - very artistic photos...the Milky Way actually has a water garden in the center of the landscape...

P.S. Welcome to the MG forum...

Thanks for the welcome. I have some new young vines just starting outside...most years we don't get a freeze and I can see them all year round. I can post more photos, just don't want to bore people.

I`m new here too and I suspect everyone including me is a picture-aholic. I never get bored looking at pictures!!!

Your contributions are very pretty. I love the flower in the rain. It reminds me of a creatively fashioned bird bath.

Gardenpom, we LOVE your photos and they are not boring at all!

Great pictures keep them coming!!

The photo with the water inside reminds me of the "morning glory urinal" I saw online. I attached a photo...rather a disgusting idea to me...but it sold for $6500! It was done by a glass artist named Sorenson.

Eww..that is Not a bird bath. 6500 bucks, huh? LOL

Inspiration! thank you for the great pics.

@pweelee The urinal or the flowers?...LOL!!!

OK, here are a few more shots. I have a lot, I'll post more when I can.

Another one.

Lots of glories.

Macro shot.

I love the purple one with the ant on it!!!!

Very pretty flowers, thanks for sharing.

Really awesome photos, gardenpom!! What kind of camera do you use, may I ask?

baolvera, where in the heck did you find that MG urinal picture!! LOL I guess the artist has a strange admiration for Convolvulaceae!

A couple more before days end.

Hibiscus and Morning Glory neighbors.

You could pass right out on seeing such vivid blues, oranges and purples! Wowee!

Thnaks for the compliment. I have a couple of Olympus cameras, the one I use now is SP-500UZ, 10X zoom. I love their macro abilities.

gardenpom, very nice pictures! Aren't they great subjects? I like your compositions! - Arlan

Gardenpom,

Beautiful photos and composition as Arlan said - you have a good eye (and an even better camera!) I still can't get decent close ups of things like stamens and sepals and such even though I've tried - my ancient digital just isn't capable (or maybe it's me, not sure...LOL)

What is the name on the one shown here please? Are they Heavenly Blue? I'd like to order seeds for this one:

One thing I've noticed, everyones leaves look far healthier and shinier than my plants. I suspect it might be my 'no artificial measures' take on gardening which simply leaves them open to full interaction to all critters. But I've also noticed that my plants in the back yard (away from all my spray happy neighbors) have much more lush foliage, less crud look to them, and such. The ones up front are also exposed to continual traffic relatively close, so perhaps exhaust and other air pollution takes their toll as well? If this could be the case, then all my MG's that I want to grow out next year will have to go in the back yard. Kind of depressing as I'd like to share the beauty with others, but I'm not sure the icky look of the foliage would show off the beauty of the plants in the best light ;)

Thank you again for all the photos, I agree, we're all pretty photo-holic on this forum and I personally never tire of looking at the pics that others post to share; it only causes my pleasure with these plants to increase!

When I was sending the reply it quadrupled...I was able to edit them but too bad there is no way to delete the posts...sorry.

A few more pics.

With all the talent here, I'm sure someone will come along and point me in the right direction as to the ID, thanks gardenpom! And more vivid blooms from you too! Gorgeous :)

Another macro.

Sky blue and the sky.

Love these last two, especially the blue and the sky...

Thanks Sunny, glad you all enjoy my photos.

I love the blue you captured in this photo; what is the MG name, please? http://davesgarden.com/forums/fp.php?pid=2838893

You'll have to hope one of the more knowledgeable posters can tell you........I love them and take pictures, but don't know the varieties that well.
