When I started my morning glories, I had a peat tray just for them. There where no other seeds in there. I had two types of Morning Glorys in there.... A dark blue with a purple star and a very large all red one. Only two of the blue ones survived and four of the red ones. The blue ones has bloomed and I noticed the "red " one was budding. Last night was came home late...about 1130pm. I have three morning glorys hanging under the tree right next to where I park the truck. I just wanted to check on them before I went in(Im losing one). Well, my "red" one bloomed but its blooming at night and its NOT red! I brought it in and took this..... What kind of Morning Glory is it? I have two others of the same kind about to come in to bloom.
Well, it looks like a four o'clock to me, even the leaves. Maybe a bird dropped a seed. Morning glory seeds do not look like four o'clock seeds so you couldn't have made a mistake planting it. Four o'clock seeds are oval with a little cap on the end. They are fairly big, too. Dooley
I planted them straight out of the package I bought them in. I had a peat pot greenhouse just for my morning glorys. I have, well had, some 4oclocks. They had little tentacles that they were climbing with. These "morning glorys" dont. I was going to delete this topic cuz I started a all new topic about my morning glorys. If you go look youll see the "stems" of this one on there.
I know for sure those are 4 o'clocks. I have them everywhere!! They must have miss labeled at the company!! Yours are really beautiful with the pink and yellow combined. Mine are seperate pink ones and yellow and I also have a red one. My friend Donnia has the mixed ones like you, and I have tried to plant some of her seeds, but they just bloom one color not the mixed!! The butterflies and the bees are probably cross pollinating them.
Denee I forgot to tell you also 4 o'clocks bloom in the evening and morning glories bloom in the morning.
I'm sorry Denee!! But on the bright side you have beautiful plants with great aroma at night. I would plant more morning glory seeds and hope they are morning glories and enjoy them both!!!!
So, how do I care for these little guys? I killed my other 4 o clocks. I have two in the shade and two in partical. And all potted. All hep will be welcomed!
I don't know, I don't do very well with mine, I need to move them I think. But those are definitely four o'clocks. Very pretty ones at that.
Whatever they are I like the color of them. I have never planted four o'clocks or morning glories but have pink morning glories growing on my fence for the second summer. I must have had help from some birds.
Mine are probably the nasty cousin - but they are on a free standing fence in front of my propane tank so I think I will leave them alone - nothing else seems to grow there.
What a deal. Denee you are a painter what happens when you mix the colors .Thats what the butterflies and bees are doing to the 4 oclocks mixing the colors up .I have no idea how they became 4 oclocks.
