My moon flower vine finally got one bloom!

I planted these moon flower vines around the back deck way back in May. I have had a hard time getting them to grow due to heat and drought but I kept watering them and some grew. I don't remember planting this one because it's back by the house and not out in front and I don't remember even watering it. But, here is the one bloom so far. It does have a couple more buds.

The picture from this morning is a little fuzzy. I like the one in the dark.

My moon flowers did not do well this year either. I think it was all the rain here.

 

Hope it continues to give you lots of pretty white flowers.

 

I tried those last year and none flowered. Plenty of greenery but no flowers. Maybe I will try again next year.

Hi Dooley,..very nice bloom,..almost like ice cream,..i agree with you the bloom against the dark area is very good,..i hope those other buds bloom for you.

It's always exciting when something blooms. Congrats!

 

I tried Moonflowers once and had no luck. Maybe they thrive on neglect?
It's a beautiful flower! Congrats!
