As Promised: Beauteous Bluepalooza!

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, Thursday afternoon I noticed a lot of very large morning glory buds on these two vines. Despite temperatures in the low 40s last night, I awakened Friday morning to a sea of blue. I found 18-20 bright blue morning glories all blossoming at the same time. Usually these two plants on the west side of the vegetable garden have only four or five, maybe six, flowers per day. I hit the jackpot today! Too bad each flower only lasts a few hours, but I thoroughly enjoy their short lives. And I know my readers do, too. 

Click on each image to enlarge—if you can handle this bountiful bevy of blue beauties any bigger, lol.

  1. Oh my goodness....how beautiful! Morning glories are some of my favorites (although they will never top the daffodil on my list) and those are GORGEOUS!!! I had some morning glories at my old house but not here - they wouldn't have survived the heat this summer anyway. :(

    Thanks for sharing!
