Does anyone have flowers yet on their MG? I managed to get my spanish ones planted out before I went to my Daughter Jenny's last week and I'm happy to say they've settled in really well and are starting to climb.  Still very small 'tho. |

My mixed ones are looking happy but the heavenly blue ones don't look so good. They have been in the garden just over a week now.

I am sorry to say my Morning Glory plants have all died--All that work germinating, potting on etc. all gone to waste. Oh well I will have another go next year and follow FB-('s instructions) and do what he does then I might have success ;D
You should be alright Jenny if FB brings you a couple to plant out when you next see him.

Its probably too cold for them here Biggs!! I cant remember seing anyone growing them or it could be the sea breezes that do for them.  |

The two that FB brought me which were mine originally  are doing OK - something has been eating the leaves tho but they will hopefully survive |

I is not getting forgetful,your Heavenly Blue didnt do to well,not many flowers,hence not many seeds,where as Grandpa Otis did extremely well,abudance of flowers,loads of seeds,so i only collected those. Unlike you,i am not blonde,and do know what im doing. |

Lovely photograph of your Morning Glory FB--and a stunning colour too.
Petal- It is often the case when there are things to photograph then no camera! ;D At least you saw them in all their Glory (excuse the Pun) I have to wait till next year for mine.
Jenny and BM how about a photograph of your Morning Glories-facing the other way or otherwise-- ;D
Maggs I think you are right about the conditions they cant be good for them round our way--I dont see them in other people's gardens either-
