Flowers on a gray day..

[girlstar]

Some random pictures from outside.. on a yucky day, I needed some cheering up.

Passion Flower
It's a shame these sweeties only stay open for one day

Morning Glory
Ahhh they're taking over! Yayay

Hope you enjoyed

Those flowers are so nice!

 

[MarieLisa_Smile]

OMG! The first one is soooooooooooooo

 

[jolener]

wow the first one can stay open for only one day?

weird.

I like the first one! I'm about to go google to see why they only stay open for one day. I'm curious hehe.

The passion flower is gorgeous. Is it native to Canada?

Did you find out why? hehe

I have no idea why, but it sucks. Some of them apparently even stay open for a half day. I hate when I miss blooms because I don't get home till it's dark

Nope. If I don't take it inside over winter, it will die

And even then, taking it inside won't ensure it stays alive. I also have a purple one that hasn't flowered yet, but it looks like it should in a few weeks. I will definitely post a picture when it does

 

[jolener]

how long do you have to wait for for the first flower to bloom?

haha and i just noticed how the first flower reminds me fo dennis the menace (movie)

Thank you so much for the refreshing pictures! Here in TX we're suffering from the heat and drought so things are all a bit... yellow.

I coax what I can out of my garden, but we've only started in the spring so things aren't established yet. Your gorgeous Morning Glory taking over has definetly has me thinking of the perfect place I have for it.

I have a few things that aren't quite established too.. and I'm waiting impatiently for them to bloom (but that might be a few seasons).

I love Morning Glories so much.. and the seeds fall all over the place every fall and come out full force in spring

I even found white ones (not moonflowers, actual white morning glories) at the garden centre - they're breathtaking
