Moonflowers in central Indiana

| In reading the recent post "Moonflower blooms" from Gail who lives in northwest Indiana, she had several questions regarding her moon flowers. I though I'd start a new thread.
I live in central Indiana and my neighbor has them growing everywhere each year. She never reseeds or replants them as they come up voluntarily each year. They even come up across the road in a small ravine! She has given me starts from them but I cannot seem to make them flourish. I will continue my efforts though as I would love to have some growing by my garden gates.
Its amazing how someone can grow something without any attention to it and another can't make it flourish with the best of care! |

| I have the same problem here in Texas with my Moonflower vines, but I have seen pictures of them growing wild in Utah and Colorado in the mountain areas. I guess we just have to keep trying. |

Hi! I live in central Indiana also, and I planted my moon flowers this past June, and I am already getting blooms, I guess I'm lucky b/c I didn't germinate the seeds or anything, just planted them in front of my house and they're growing wildly and are so beautiful! I have a couple of questions though....
I have these buds that bloom in the morning and close in the afternoon...they aren't on the vines, but they are a part of the whole plant itself...they are light yellow with a burgundy center and are about 1 inch in diameter...so these bloom in the mornig and the moon flowers bloom in the evening...it is really cool, but i am really curious to see if anyone has had this in their moon garden before?
Thank You all for your help and info! :)
I can send pics of the little yellow flowers if anyone would like to see them? They weren't there before I planted the moon flowers, and they're growing right along with the vines, but they're not a part of the vine, but a part of the whole plant itself....it's so weird! lol! |

| One thing I did forget to say was I got my seeds from my brother who lives in Colorado so I know they bloom there for sure. |
