Eliza Waters 
Ah! The very beautiful morning glory – such a pretty start to my day!
Thank you, Anne. đ
Great perspective! I love those flowers.
Thank you, Gary. I bet they love your climate!
Yes. The wild ones are very invasive around here and the farmers dread them. I planted some different ones this year from seeds I got from Baker Creek. They had smaller flowers. I prefer the larger flower like the one in your photo.
I also grow the purple ‘Grandpa Ott’ heirloom, which flowers earlier and self-sows readily. I expect it could become invasive if given the chance, but so far is controllable. We have native bindweed here that is perennial and a regular pain in the you know what to control.
Beauty capture đ
Thank you, Karen! x

These are still my favourite colour for morning glory! Lovely
Thank you, Allison. You just can’t beat that true blue!
So pretty!
Thank you, Dale!
I love the blue of morning glories – true to their name.
Thank you, Karina. They are that, for sure. đ
So beautiful it.
Thank you!
Lovely bloom with a nice contrast between the blue and white. I never have good luck with them, and I don’t know why. So, thanks for sharing your beauty.
Thank you, Judy. I believe they prefer poorer soils (and warm conditions like against a wall) as rich ones make lots of leaves, but less flowers. I don’t like that they take until Sept. to start blooming in my garden with so little time before frost comes. Still, I love them when they do arrive.
Beautiful blue and white! Classic!
Thank you, Barbara. That color is amazing to me!
Beautiful composition, Eliza! đ
Thank you, Donna! đ
Beautiful shot….
Thanks much!
Perfect for Sunday morning.
Thank you, I agree. đ
One of my favorite flowers! Love the color.
Thank you, Laurie, it is such a pure blue.
Beautiful image Eliza!
Thank you, Reed!
Have a glorious day, Eliza! â¤ī¸
đ Thanks, John!

Thank you
Beautiful photo! What an amazing color!
Thank you, Alice! ‘Heavenly Blue’ takes forever to bloom, but when it does, it is worth the wait. đ
Eliza, you captured some lovely details on the morning glory. Love it. đ
Thank you, Irene. x
I have plenty of these!! They come in shades ranging from white and pale pink to blue and purple, so there’s great variety … as well as beauty!
Sounds pretty! They are a great summer vine, indeed.
Love the perspective and the color!
Thank you, Sandy. They are so luminous when back lit. đ
Indeed!
What a beautiful colour.
MJ
Thank you, MJ!
That is one lovely blue colour! I’ve never seen blue morning glory, I don’t think.
Thanks, Maria! It is a pretty popular variety here, but it takes about 4 months to reach the stage of flowering, so perhaps Sweden doesn’t have a long enough season for them. We barely get a month of bloom before frost ends the show. But they are worth the effort!
It is fabulous!
Really nice capture, Eliza. I like that you’re so good a getting photos of flowers that are the typical front-on or face-down. Blooms are beautiful no matter the angle. That color is fetching!
Thank you very much, Tina! I love the way morning glories hold and reflect light, esp. the ‘Heavenly Blue’ cultivar, so aptly named. đ
Love the beautiful color!đ
Thank you, S!
Love the subtle exterior colors. Mine of blooming exuberantly right now.
Thank you, Cindy, do you grow the blue ones or other varieties? All are lovely!
sorry meant are…..
Lovely colour, and it does its name justice!
Yes, indeed it doesâ thanks, Belinda!
Shades of Katharine Hepburn. đ
đ I missed seeing that one, though I am fond of most her films, she was quite the actress.
I do love them. I ignored local advice and planted one vine in the ground in my former garden. It took over, climbing through even the tallest shrubs and picking up giant whitefly in the process. It took me more than 2 years to eradicate it. I expect your winter weather keeps yours under control.
Yes, winter ends I. tricolor’s reign, for sure. Not even seeds overwinter. I. purpurea seeds will self-sow, but so far they are easy to manage.
Oh my! That is a gorgeous shade of blue.
Thank you, Alys!
Glorious blue. đ
Thank you, Cathy!
a gift
Indeed! â¤
Beautiful detail and color, Eliza! When I see a purple morning glory, I always think of the first morning glory vine that I successfully grew years ago.âēī¸
Thank you! They are pretty special. đ
My grandmother reviled Morning Glories in her garden and years later when I met my husband I chuckled when he bought some Morning Glory seeds to plant at his first home. But the joke is on me. What a lovely flower it is and the color is so special.
Funny story. They really are glorious – that true blue is amazing.
What a graceful angle of composition, Eliza. The color is marvelous. đ
Thank you very much, Jane! â¤
So dreamy! Great photo Eliza.
Thank you, Loree! I think it is one of the prettiest blues in the garden.
Oh, this is enchanted! One of my favorite sweaters of all time was this color, but don’t think I’ve ever seen that shade in nature.
Thank you, Nailah. True blue in nature is not common, forget-me-nots are the only other flower that comes to mind right now.
Oh, yeah. That’s where I’ve seen that color in flowers b4. Again, great shot!
This brings back so many wonderful memories to me, Eliza. My path to the convent I studied at was lit with dreamy little morning glories, which I absolutely loved! đđ
Sounds lovely! Glad it sparked a good memory. đ
Nice angle and soft light! đ
Thank you, Denise. A happy catch of luminosity!
Love that color! đ Iâve only seen white here. At the ocean. đ
Thanks, these definitely are not the wild type, but so worth growing. đ
