Gorgeous!! Boy, I hope my perennial morning glory looks as good as yours when it gets bigger. What a beautiful plant! I love that the flowers stay open almost all day and change color, too.

Thanks for sharing!

Perennial morning glory - I love that. I am a big fan of blue flowers too. I tried morning glory seeds and have a few starting up a fence, but Perennial is so much better. Aroidgardener, where did you get it?

Does your Iris stay on the dry side?? I have one I would like to use in the front so I can show it off a little.

atreelady, I got the morning glory on Ebay. This is it's second year. It's a fun vine to try and keep contained as it likes to wander. I started it on one side of our deck and the pictures are the vine on the opposite side (where it does much better). So, Mother Nature knows best....:)

The flower does last all day as Marcia noted and changes colors. Here's a picture I just took at about 7 pm today.
The blue lasts for about 1/2 day.

tropicalfreak, my iris does stay on the dry side because I have it in a bed that I water every other day. I hand water and every other day leaves the soil almost like sand. I haven't gotten around to mulching the bed yet. So for now it does get completely dry between waterings.

Thanks Aroidgardener,I will look online for seeds. I am used to wandering vines. My passion flower is definitely that way. Maybe it is running away those butterflies :)

Aroidgardener,

Lovely pictures as always!
I have been rearranging one part of my garden to pinks, purples, and blues. Judging from your picture is was a good decision.
I have been lusting over the perennial morning glory for a while now. I think I need to bump it to the top of my list.

Ariel,

I'm can see if any has rooted out there or root some of the morning glory for you if you want. I'm in Plant City, not too far from you.....just let me know.

aroidgardener,

I would love some!!! We need to get together sometime and take a tour of each others gardens.
You are welcome to all the cuttings you want.
Thanks

Ariel

aroidgardener ~ That morning glory is a favorite of mine also. The blooms are beauteous! I have a walking yellow/brown iris, have never seen the blue before. Love it. I also have your pink flowering vine, which I just googled and it is Podranea ricasoliana (the Bignoniaceae familly), pink trumpet vine, Port St Johns creeper. I got mine from Nikki.

Keep posting pictures of your blooms.

Ariel, I will see if I have a rooted piece, or start one. We will have to get together and go through the garden. I still have lots to do to mine, but it's slowly coming together and you can have whatever babies or cuttings are there. Just overlook the weeds...and overgrown area...and whatever else is unsightly :)

Thanks for the name for my trumpet vine. I've been meaning to research it. I have the yellow walking iris also...I love them. My garden is filled mostly with Aroids...I'm slowly branching out to flowering plants. Hopefully will have more things blooming soon.

I love that blue walking iris! I have one I traded for that they said was blue, but it's turned out out to be white with blue on it. Still lovely, but I really wanted a blue one.

I'm confused. My blue walking iris is white w/blue center.
My blue iris is an apostle iris. It's the 1 st yr I've had it and I love it's blooms. It's my new all time fav....for this week anyway.
