REJOICE GREATLY!

Welcome to the Sparkling Lotus
website's special tribute to morning
glories!  The gorgeous Heavenly
Blues that are serving as the
collage base image were
photographed by my blogging
friend, Sister Catherine Grace.  You
can read her blog here and learn

each morning glory bud unfolds into a
deep, silent chalice that fills itself with
light beyond the simple rays of sun
that nourish the flowers.
Morning glories always form a joyous and radiant focal point for a garden or porch.  
Plant the seeds early for earliest blooms.  Soak seeds overnight in water and liquid
seaweed.  Sew in individual peat pots or jiffy 7s.  Morning Glories can be picky
when they're transplanted so make sure you factor in a little extra time to baby them

Blue Star morning glory, growing in SL2 during Summer '05.  This plant
and flower spirit was very strong and determined.  All the other seedlings
and flowers were decimated by some very greedy rabbits.
