Mt Fuji Morning Glory is one of my favourite flowers but I found them a little too delicate.
They flowered and withered very fast when I grew them in pots.
One day, I decided to sow a few seeds in the crevice of this wooden cable drum which I am using as a recycled table.
I am so glad I did this as the blooms are bigger and the vine a whole lot stronger compared to the ones grown in pots.
Clifford can't stop admiring them too.
Sometimes a small change can make a big difference.
Nice flowers and I love the colors.
ReplyDeleteThis really is a pretty morning Glory, I have not seen one before with such a large flower, Moon Flower excluded. It is good Clifford has not chosen them for a snack!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful blooms. I've never seen a morning glory with such distinct stripes in the flower before.
ReplyDeleteThe morning glory is beautiful. You may find that it will continue to reseed and rebloom each year. Clifford knows a good thing when he sees it. cheers. ann
ReplyDeleteI climbed Mt. Fuji but never saw this variety of Morning Glory in Mt. Fuji. Very beautiful colour. I was imagining how nice to see that morning glory on our garden arch in summer ;-). It looks right at home on that wooden cable drum.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great color for a Morning glory! And it looks great along the path.
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty! And so large! I love the pop of color against the wood.

ReplyDeleteHave a nice day with the Mt Fuji Morning Glory. They look very beautiful.
I have never seen such a beautiful morning glory. It has an impressive name too.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, Mt Fuji morning glory? Interesting name... I have seen these patterns here in Japan before... very pretty indeed...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Clifford is very clever to admire it so!
ReplyDeleteSometimes when we pampered the plant too much, it becomes manja and sensitive. But when you just let it be and ignore it, it thrives beyond your expectation! Lovely colour, a bit like petunia I had before.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower and huge bloom too. Plants, they never fail to surprise us, do they?
ReplyDeleteDear friends, Thank you for coming by to admire these morning glory. Clifford has been chewing weeds around the morning glory but so far did not try to chew up the flowers as well. Thank goodness!
ReplyDeleteRainfield, You are right. Big changes can sometimes make only small difference.
P3, You have a point. Some plants don't like to be manja-ed.
Ooooh, I would LOVE one of those!!
ReplyDeleteVery unusual flowers, I have not seen Morning Glory so brightly colored. I'd grow it too if I could find it here.
ReplyDeleteMt Fuji Morning Glory! Where did you get the seeds from? I just sowed some seeds of the purple-blue morning glory in pots, but it seems that all seeds selling in M'sia have no detailed description of the variety. The petal of the Mt Fuji is big! Clifford, don't eat ya!
