...because they are difficult to grow here, said by my sweet friend Liz. A giant thank you goes to find her in Harwell, UK, as I am inspired a lot from her kind B*Day wishes and a few recent photos taken in her garden with these 'Heavenly Blue' beautiful Morning Glories.
Just like the stones, each month has a flower or two as well, which symbolizes birth. This heart-shaped goodness is the flower of my birth month August:)
Did you know in Japan the Morning Glory is known as asagao, asa "morning" and kao "face". Gives a meaning like "Morning Face". Indeed it blooms in the morning hours.
If you know would you share the flower of your birth month?
"A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books."
Walt Whitman ( Poet, 1819-1892)
Very lovely image of the two Morning Glories. They look like little lighted lamps: soft, fresh, shaded, delicate.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week ahead, Nihal!
I like morning glories, they are said to be traditionally planted around mail box posts on old homesteads here.
ReplyDeleteI looked up my birth flower (July) and got different answers, sweetpeas or waterlilies or larkspur. I think I'll stick with sweetpeas as I really like them and DH always grows them for me.

Bellissimi i fiori, delle volte riescono a rallegrarmi...soprattutto quando ne ho bisogno:-)
ReplyDeleteBuon inizio settimana
I don't know my flower, but I hope it's the sunflower. So earthy and cheerful, it makes me happy just to see them.
