Morning Glories are twining climbing vines which require some other structure (twine, stakes, branches, etc., to twine their entire stems around in order to climb. Morning Glories do NOT produce the type of specialized tendrils of clinging vines (e.g., Cucurbitaceae) with or without adhering discs or aerial roots which enable other types of vines (Parthenocissus spp , Hedera spp ) to self-attach to a solid wall or structure of any material. Morning Glories do NOT produce the type of bio-chemicals excreted by the adhering discs or aerial roots of clinging vines cited in the paragraph above which will eventually damage the mortar between bricks and cause disintegration of wood. The fact that any MG or other plant comes from a commercial source is no guarantee that it is as labeled and in fact it is often the case that commercial sources do not know how to properly identify species including MG's. You want to be sure of what you got in any packet (?)...then post the seedlings and young plants on one of the forums where people with an established (long term) reputation for accurate identification can ID what you have growing... Enjoy your Morning Glories (!) P.S. - Please click onto my member name and send me a private message if you have MG related questions that may be off-topic and you are unsure of where or how to post them in the appropriate thread.

If you have enough light they will grow and bloom indoors. I use 1000 watt HID lights. Karyn

I am thrilled to know this. Nature persists! This terrace is not only on the 14th floor, it is right on the edge of Times Square. Yes, now I recall seeing some of these little bees, though I didn't see them cutting leaves. I looked for a possible nest. There is no wood at all on this terrace -- only stone, some metal facings, ceramic tiles, bricks, wrought iron railings, steel window frames. Mosses and grass and some little weeds grow between the tiles. Obviously the critters have found a cozy spot -- I will continue looking. Thank you so much for this! Beth
