We have two main wildflower seasons here. In late spring and early summer the cactus bloom, and then in late summer and early fall other things bloom. So right now I have to drag my person along when she tries to stop and take pictures of all those flowers.
I got lucky with this morning glory plant. It’s called morning glory for a reason. Morning is when the flowers are open, and then they close up for the day. So whenever we walked by the plant the flowers were closed up and my person had nothing to take pictures of.
But something strange happened. We walked by and there was a flower in full bloom. I think somebody needs to straighten this plant out. Its name is not evening glory. Come on flower – close up quick. You’re not playing by the rules.
That flower didn’t listen any better than my person does sometimes. It stayed open showing of its full glory – its full evening glory.
What else can I do? Guess I’ll chew on a few weeds until my person puts her camera away. How’s that for glory?

Sweet Kitten, it’s my person who likes the flowers. She makes me hang around while she gets her camera out. But the weeds are good. I think my person should take pictures of weeds.

Maybe the flowers body clock is out and it thought the evening was morning? Good find Bongo!

Susan, this flower is definitely confused. And I thought I was being so clever by only taking my person on the route past those flowers in the evening.

The flower must be on a different time zone 😉 Very beautiful, thanks for sharing Bongo so your person could take a picture!

Misty Shores, that flower must not know that we don’t go on Daylight Savings Time in Arizona.

what a beautiful plant Morning Glory is, and your Evening Glory. I have a whole big bush covered in these flowers but mine are deep blue and sometimes pink. Weeds maybe weeds but when they are that glorious they become plants.
Remember your tummy if you eat those other weeds >>>>

Patreciau, I think most morning glories are blue or pink, but we only have white ones here. My person says she agrees with you that some weeds are beautiful. We used to have a morning glory plant in our backyard and my person let it stay because she thought it was so pretty.

Maybe the flower bloomed just for you??

Misaki, my person says it bloomed just for her – but it must have been for me too, because I got to crunch on some tasty weeds because of it.

Sometimes when it’s time to go to sleep, I’m just not tired. Maybe that morning glory flower is just not tired. If you see it tomorrow, eat it. It looks delicious.
Love and licks,

Cupcake, I’ve never tried eating flowers. They just don’t smell right. But I may have to check this one out. Maybe the flavor of the weeds nearby rubbed off on it.

Maybe this one’s just not a morning person?

Delft, that must be it. It doesn’t like to get up in the morning – just like my person. That’s why we usually go on my walks in the evening.

My grandmother has a flower like that in her garage that she calls a Moonflower. Maybe they’re related? Very pretty!

I think you are a lucky furry creature living where you live. Your people are also lucky. I came to AZ this summer and I loved the nature there. One of my dream vacations is in the middle of the desert. So you guys live every day my dream vacation 🙂

Cristina, I know I do live in an awesome place. I love it here – especially when I get to go out on my trails.

I didn’t even see a morning glory so big than that one 😮
Maybe she needed a bit more of raysun.
Lucky you!

YouKai, our morning glories are big here. I guess that one liked the sun and forgot to close up when it came out.

Wow, that morning glory looks so beautiful, Bongo! I think that she breaks the rule for you and your person as she wants two of you to enjoy her beauty!!! Thanks for sharing her picture, Bongo! 🙂
*whispers* Yes I wanna see the weeds picture, too! hee hee…

Kevin, I’ve been trying to get my person to take some good weeds pictures but I can’t seem to get her to cooperate.

Gorgeous flower. I believe that plant is datura. It has beautiful blooms but is dangerous to eat (relative of deadly nightshade), so don’t give that one a taste. Just enjoy the lovely flower.

Shary, thanks for the info on the plant. They don’t have a good eating kind of smell, so I haven’t been tempted to try them.

Pretty flower! Ginger says if you water it several times you wont have to stop and look at it anymore… heheheh
Bongo
September 24, 2012 at 4:58 pm
I think Ginger’s right. One watering might make the flower stay longer, but several will surely make it go away.
