Why is this beautiful Heavenly Blue morning glory a "shocker?" I grow them every year, right? Well, this plant was eaten by rabbits more than a month ago, lol! They ate the vines at the bottom of the plant, separating what had been climbing on my garden fence from the roots. Every single vine was chomped off. The plant itself was in a container, which I moved into a more protected part of the garden, the "garden within the garden" that June put in two years ago. But the vines on the fence withered and died. Until this morning! This beautiful flower caught my eye and I realized it's blooming and growing without the help of any roots! Not only does it have this flower, but there are more buds to come and the leaves and vine itself are regenerating at the ends. I've never seen anything like it. I think the vines must be getting water from the rain and perhaps that's all it really needs. I really can't believe it!
Fresh and new green leaf coming out of a vine that has been dead for more than a month. Not attached to the ground in any way.
Look at the growth above the flower! New green vines, more buds forming, and all without the help of the plant itself or any roots. I've Googled this oddity and can't find anything about glory vines growing without roots!
This green, fresh vine is dead at the end of it just a few feet away where the rabbits ate the vine and separated it from the ground. So odd but I'm not complaining!
THAT MORNING GLORY WAS MEANT TO BE. JUST THINK BACK AND THINK OF WHAT YOUR MIND WAS ON. I WOULD'VE THOUGHT OF MY MOM.

Oh, I know exactly what I was thinking, Granny. I was worried. I'm always worried these days about the future. Not really any work for months now, can't pay rent, etc etc etc. I'm going to have some big changes coming and that worries me. But seeing the morning glory that morning gave me some hope! It's still going now that the two of them are properly planted again. I hope it will really fill out in a few weeks!
