    Looks GREAT! I have mine 'around' the front stoop every year, makes my front look sort of 'cottage'. I have learned the hard way to soak the seed overnight and use this years saved seed for next years crop. I bought some seed, and they turned out to be morning glories, though the packet said 'moon flowers'. Have you ever smelled one, they are so fragrant and the moth that come and visit at night are hummingbird size.

    Yes i soaked my seed also.Have you ever heard of using a little bit of peroxide it is suppose to help also.Im on several seed swapping websites and it is alot cheaper than buying seeds.

    I am learning something every day, thank you. The very first time I planted them I learned that the ground has to be warm, no earlier than May 10 in the ground. One of the things I do is 'quilt replicate' all of the flowers in my garden, and the moon flowers look great on the wall in the hallway. Will try the peroxide and tea trick next year, two batches, but with MY seed from this year.

    Rose, you should post photos of your quilted flowers for us to see.

    Thanks for the TEA tip....I have had hit-or-miss luck with moonflowers here...they seem to need a lot of tending early on, but worth the work! That moth that comes at dusk is a Sphinx moth...

    I would if only I knew how to do that. Will have to consult with my son - he is the techno guru. Please be patient, they will show up.

    Coming from a farm in Coats NC, we always soaked our beans etc before planting
