Morning Glory ~ September Birth Flower


September has arrived!
Years ago I came across
this lovely fence . . .

Where Morning Glory vines were twining
their way in and out among the
ornamental fleur de lys.

Delicate blue bell shaped flowers 
opened to the morning sun,

And peeked from within the mass 
of heart shaped leaves.

Morning Glory ~ September Birth Flower
Morning Glory flowers are a symbol of affection.
They open in the morning light, and curl shut by evening.
Blue, the most common color of Morning Glories,
represents trust, responsibility, honor, and loyalty.

This post was first published September 2011,
and I pulled it for the archives to share again.

    I didn’t know that the morning glory was the September birth flower! I always admire their flower and wish I had a place to grow them again!

    Such a lovely description of the Morning Glory. Every time I look at one from now on I am going to wish I could remember that it represents trust, responsibility, honor, and loyalty. but maybe I can come up with that list of valuable traits!

    Such pretty pics! When I went to camp all the cabins were named after flowers. My first cabin was Morning Glory. Have a wonderful week, Sarah!

    Beautiful Sarah! Did you know hibiscus do a similar thing, opening towards the sun and closing at night? Flowers fascinate me, Mother Nature's wonderful gift!
