~ morning glory in blue and purple colours are the most recognizable ~
Morning glory plants are known as fast-growing vines with a somewhat unique daily schedule, because the flowers open in the morning and close up by the afternoon!
The flower’s blue and purple colours are the most recognizable, but morning glories also appear in a range of pinks, reds, and whites. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, with five large petals arranged flat around the flower head, making them quite attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds.
Please be aware that Morning glory vines and flowers are toxic and should not be eaten or used for culinary purposes. The seeds of some species are known to contain small amounts of a hallucinogenic substance, too.
Morning Glory Meanings and Symbolism
- Like many vining plants, morning glories have long been associated with love.
- Morning glories have symbolized love that was never returned, but have also been seen as a sign of undying love.
- Each colour holds a different meaning: blue represents enduring love, desire, and power; purple symbolizes grace, wealth, and hopefulness; pink is a sign of gratitude and energy; red means passion and strength; white, like many other flowers, symbolizes purity and innocence.

Thanks for the information on Morning Glory Jan. The red one is lovely.
...for our area, the aster seems the most appropriate.
These flowers are very fitting for the month of September.
We have the blue and purple ones blooming right now - so pretty. I never knew they came in other colors. That red is beautiful!
They are so very pretty!
I love Morning Glories. Ours would close at night and open in the sun.
Morning glories somehow popped up in a flower bed far away from the rest. They are a happy flower.

Hello Jan :)
There is a lot of blue Morning Glory on the farm. It rambles over the walls and needs pruning every year. Thank you for sharing all the info about it, which I didn't know. It's a pretty climber that I like very much, and now like it even better because it symbolizes love.
All the best

Morning glories are another favorite of mine, though I've never had much luck growing them! Thanks for the insight!
Dear Jan!
Morning glories are charming flowers. I am delighted with the scarlet one.
Sending September greetings.
Those are beautiful flowers and colors—thanks for the explanation regarding September. hugs Elke
I just planted some Asters..Tis the season!! Morning Glories go crazy and need control so I stay away from them..
Lovely flower
I have never seen a red morning glory before, only the blue and lilac ones. Very pretty.
Beautiful flowers, Jan. Thank you for sharing this information. 🙏

Es una linda flor. Te mando un beso
These are gorgeous Jan :) All the best, Denise
I don't like morning glory, though they are nice to look at. Asters are nice.
Hello Jan,
The Morning Glories are beautiful, I love all the colors.
Wishing you a happy Fall!
Take care, have a great day!
A lovely celebration of September’s Morning Glory, whose fleeting daily bloom makes it an especially fitting symbol of love, renewal, hope and the quiet beauty of new beginnings.
We used to have white morning glories at one of our houses in Oregon. I love the deep, rich colors in the first photo.
Such interesting facts about the Morning Glory, Jan. Thank you for sharing. My husband has never been a fan because of how quickly they can spread, so I was quite surprised to find some growing in his wildflower bed this year. They are beautiful. xx
They're gorgeous flowers, so rich in colour, but I've never seen a red one before.
I love morning glories and used to plant them by our porch and train them up over the railings. I mixed them with moon flowers so when the morning glories closed in the evening the white moon flowers opened...the vines all intertwined. sigh...makes me a bit nostalgic thinking about it. Hugs- Diana
I love morning glories and didn't know the special meanings of the colors.
Very pretty indeed. We have some morning glory in our neighborhood.
I love flowers; now, after the hot summer, it’s time to fix up the pots and plant new ones. The cacti and aloe vera plants survive just like every year—but that heat, topping 40°C, wipes everything out... even us.
Best regards.
When we lived in Sunland, CA. our back fence was covered with morning glories, they brought me much joy!
Morning Glory is certainly one of my favourites, but then I'm not born is Setember!
They are so pretty.
We bought morning glory seeds this year and then forgot to plant them, hopefully they will be ok for next year. I love those dark red ones against the wooden fence.
I love Morning Glory flowers.
Es una flor bonita. En mi jardín ahora hay muchas. Besos.
