Morning glory

We planted some morning glories along the fence around our garden this year.

Back lit

Normally we only plant in our raised beds because the soil is so poor. But we put some morning glories into the soil just on a whim.

Pink

They surpassed our wildest expectations 🙂 They thrived and soon covered the fence. Even crossing over to climb the tomatoes that were taller than the fence.

Morning glories of course open in the morning and the sun glowing through the white, translucent center of the blooms is wonderful.

Pink and white

We have three different color blooms but only two pictured in this post 🙄

Light within

I seldom do post-shoot editing but couldn't resist this edit. The glow from the sun back lighting together with the stamen and pollen was just too perfect. But then again I don't usually like highly edited photos. What do you think? btw I suppose this counts as AI generated since AI is used to pick out the subject and remove the background.

Wow, the flowers are very beautiful, I like the purple one

The deep purple is pretty. My favorite also 👍

Beautiful 😍
We used to play with this flower during our school times😁

Thanks. Fun that it brought back some good memories for you 👍

My wife has a vine growing on our balcony but it hasn't bloomed for some reason.

I read online that sometimes if you fertilize morning glories, they will bloom less and only make more leaves. I don't know if thats categorically correct but one of our less healthy looking vines is putting on more flowers than any other right now 😆

Beautiful flowers... you're an expert in gardening 😄
Have a great saturday nigt

Well the expert gardener is probably my wife 😅 Hope your weekend is going well

Always the last day with the rain... great to pack 😀

One of my favorite family stories is when my grandparents got married in 1918, my grandpa's little sister was 8 years old. The wedding was at my grandma's parents farm, and my great aunt remembered that she was certain her brother was marrying a princess! She said that they had the most beautiful outhouse that she had ever seen because it was covered in morning glories.

😂🤣😂 thats a great story. I can see where your great aunt was coming from... all the fairy tales had ivy covered towers with some flowers mixed in for good measure. I bet it was glorious, all you need is an 8 year old imagination to see it.

Glorious mornings indeed! They're beautiful. I'm yet to start my home apartment garden... procrastinating as usual 😁.

Never too late. There will be season ending sales on plants before long haha

Ahahahah may after my short holidays the timing will be right! ;)

Beautiful flowers pictures 👍

Thanks. With flowers like that the pictures are easy 🙂
